“Candy Shop” explores love in an unconventional way. Expect a feast for the senses, with three rooms overflowing with beautiful flowers, sweet fragrances, sparkling canvases and sugary confections. The collection will also display a new series of exquisite portraits nestled amongst her well-known floral and kiss canvasses. Visiting the collection will be like experiencing a metaphorical candy land dream world.
