'RBG: Metamorphosis'

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is reimagined here as both an icon and a catalyst for change.

This mixed-media portrait layers a grayscale photographic transfer of RBG with hand-painted psychedelic color fields and crystal-embellished butterflies and lacework, symbolizing transformation, resilience, and the ripple effect of her legacy. The contrast between her timeless, stoic expression and the vibrant, surreal backdrop reflects the way her quiet determination reshaped the world in bold, lasting ways.

The piece is created on a 12 × 16 × 1.5 inch gallery-wrapped canvas using a combination of:

• Fine-art photo transfer printed directly onto canvas

• Hand-painted acrylic layers

• Hand-applied crystal embellishments

Crystals are individually placed not only on the butterflies, but also throughout the iconic lace collar, adding dimension, texture, and light-catching detail that elevates the portrait into a sculptural, mixed-media work. As the artwork moves through different lighting, the crystals subtly shimmer, bringing new life and energy to this historic figure.

The result is a one-of-a-kind artwork that feels both contemporary and collectible — a bold tribute to one of the most influential women in modern history.
