Located in West Hollywood, CA
This vertical 48 inch high by 36 inch wide original painting on canvas is wired and ready to hang. It does not require framing. It is signed and dated by the artist on the front of the artwork.

Jodi Bonassi has been actively exhibiting since 1994. She has had solo exhibitions at California State University Northridge, Coagula Curatorial, and other venues including a 2018 retrospective at The Museum of the San Fernando Valley...
