Welcome Home

🏙️ Welcome Home – Original Mixed Media Painting 🌈

The familiarity of home and belonging, the Chicago skyline sits in front of a colorful backdrop. Welcome Home is a 14"x18" original mixed media painting that honors the easily identifiable Chicago skyline in full, vivid color sitting atop a nod to Lake Michigan below. Hidden in the layers is a quiet message that reads “welcome home” - a whisper to anyone who’s ever needed to hear it.

What Makes It Special:

🌆 A City for All: This piece is more than a view, it’s a warm, welcoming feeling. Chicago’s silhouette invites you into a city full of individuals reminding you that there’s room for everyone. It’s a visual reminder that home isn’t just where you’re from - it’s where you’re seen, accepted, and free to be fully feel like you belong.

🎨 Signature Texture and Tone: Like all of my mixed media work, this piece features layers of colors, metallics, lines and movement. It has that unmistakable texture and rhythm that makes every inch feel alive. The colorful palette and little decorative details of hearts and stars in the skyline reflect my inner feelings on the city where I was born - beautiful, fun, welcoming, vibrant.

🌈 A Welcome in Color: The rainbow background is both vibrant and soft, bold and gentle. It speaks without shouting. It’s joy, warmth, and openness, all painted into one city and one moment. If Chicago has ever felt like home - whether you have lived here or not - that feeling of warmth and welcoming can wash over you like a lake wave.

🖼️ Mixed Media, Made to Last: Created with acrylics, ink, and layered techniques on mixed media paper, this piece is sealed to preserve its detail, color and depth. It's built to stay vibrant through the years.
