Loving Your Imperfections - Raffi

This big bold painting is based on my childhood toy giraffe called Raffi. He was an important comfort to me after we lost most of our possessions in a house fire in my childhood home. You can see his neck is very bent from me carrying him everywhere. But the theme of this collection is about how, regardless of perceived imperfections, we are all lovable.
