The Monarch was a special one because it was a piece created for someone who designs at Nike and had recently lost her father. The Monarch was the sneaker that the two of them bonded over and would forever be a symbol of their relationship. Some paintings are frustrating to complete, for many reasons, but this one came together so peacefully. I made sure to only listen to 80’s metal rock while painting it to channel her dad’s essence. It came out so simple, refined, and clean. I used metal leaf for the swoosh and hand-stitched most of the seams throughout.
