Every strong woman is a little bit of “Whiskey in a Teacup” – dainty and presentable at first glance with a fiery heart when it counts. Created for a special showing at Blue Hills Round Top and crafted from hundreds of hand-cut wooden tiles, this piece captures the quiet strength and complexity within every woman. Warm golds, deep teals, and flashes of rose and crimson come together to form a portrait that feels both delicate and powerful, much like the sentiment behind the title. Each individual wood tile is shaped, painted, and placed by hand, creating movement that shifts with light and perspective. From afar, the image resolves into a cowgirl’s confident gaze. Up close, the craftsmanship reveals hundreds of unique elements working together – just as strength and femininity are built from many layers. 

Owing to the use of natural materials, the artwork should be maintained in a temperature-controlled environment, safeguarded from moisture and direct sunlight, to ensure the preservation of its beauty and structural integrity. Beyond its aesthetic qualities, this piece also functions as an effective sound diffuser, enhancing the acoustical character of any space.
