This original acrylic painting is composed on a collage of antique Valentines, some dating back as far as 1908. Their delicate textures — pressed paper, faded script, and intricate lacework — are visible throughout the surface, quietly whispering the messages they once carried.

I titled this piece To My Love after the tender words embroidered on one of the Valentines, nestled just beneath the figure’s cheek. It felt like a secret meant only for her — and now, perhaps, for you.

Preserved in a deep white gallery frame, the piece measures 29 × 40 inches. It arrives framed and ready to hang — a valentine reimagined, a keepsake of devotion and time.
