CARRIE FISHER

This painting is a tribute to Carrie Fisher, the actress renowned for her portrayal of Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise. Fisher's casting as Leia was impeccable, making her one of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars saga.

In creating this portrait, my aim was to honor the memory of this remarkable actress who brought Princess Leia to life. The painting seeks to capture the essence of Fisher's portrayal and her significant contribution to the enduring legacy of Star Wars, a series that holds a special place in my heart from my formative years.
