Stealing Time

Stealing Time has a sly, storybook quality: playful at first glance, but more layered the longer you sit with it. The title gives the piece its own little wink, as if the subject has slipped in from the edge of a memory and taken something precious with it. This original acrylic painting was acquired by a collector who had a personal story connected to the subject, which made the connection feel especially right. That is often how Dani Abbott's work finds its home: not through decoration alone, but through recognition. Now part of Studio Archives, Stealing Time remains a record of a piece that carried personality, humor, and private meaning all at once. Collectors may inquire about commissioning an original with a similarly personal thread.
