Create a Sweet Life, Poster on Paper Print

This fine art poster, CREATE A SWEET LIFE, is based on a group of four cupcake paintings I did a few years back. Each painting contains a line from a short four-line poem I wrote in rhyme: Life is a cupcake Luscious and sweet A joy to look at Even better to eat I wanted to develop a poster that focused on a positive message for everyone…to let people know, in spite of all the negative things in this world, life can be sweet and joyful. It’s really often a matter of what we do with our lives, how we conduct ourselves, how we interact with people on a daily basis, and what we set as our goals. I think it's a simple, but great message for children and adults, to "Create a Sweet Life." Like most of my poems, it was written first with children in mind and then the adults who might be reading the poem to children. To me, a cupcake is a perfect metaphor for life. As in life, cupcakes can be beautiful, luscious, and sweet; great to watch life around you, but even better if you take a bite out of life and enjoy it for yourself with all its unique qualities. The poem really dictated that each line be associated with its own unique cupcake to signify that all of our lives are unique, and that children need to grow up knowing they are unique and don’t have to look like or be like everyone else. The paintings are meant to be uplifting and expressionistic interpretations of cupcakes that can brighten up people’s lives and make people smile. Thick impasto acrylic paint was used for the icings. The letters are hand cut from colored art paper using fine scissors and then permanently affixed to the canvas. This approach gives the words a floating and playful quality. The four framed, original paintings from which this poster was made are only being sold as a group to ensure the poem stays intact.
