The best way to describe the sticker, glitter art, and construction paper creations covering your walls: surreal.

Exhibit more mature taste with a Vanity Portrait by Tessie DeFelice.

The Miami-based artist uses found objects, pigments, and resins to transform a photograph of your child into an intensely personal piece of art. DeFelice even incorporates your kiddo’s scribbles into the collage or uses them to inspire creative direction.

The results: a one-of-a-kind piece that captures his spirit.

And leaves a lasting impressionism.
