Holy Humxns: Heraa Print

Painting of mother and child. Son in the lower left sits on his mother’s knee and laughs. The mother gazes at a teal orb, reaching out to touch it. On the right, larger mother holds her toddler son as he kisses her cheek. All figures have golden halos surrounding their heads. Swirling pinks, purples, and scattered blue bubbles create a pulsing background. This painting is part of a series of life-size oil paintings that celebrate parents who are artists. These powerful and complex human beings are raising children, fighting for justice, working to pay the bills, and pursuing their own creativity — every day. They deserve to be celebrated and commemorated for their work, their love, their passion, their existence. 50% of the sales proceeds from any prints or the original will go to the model, Heraa Khan.
