  • "An iteration of Robert Indiana's famous LOVE sculpture stands at the heart of University of Pennsylvania's campus.

    In this painting, LOVE stands tall, strong and steady through the seasons year after year. The Cherry Blossom tree in the background is seen across the university's campus. The tree is known to represent many things - love, friendship, happiness and wisdom. It is also symbolic of renewal and a fresh start. The breathtaking blossoms that are short-lived reflect the beauty and transient nature of life, reminding us to enjoy every moment.

    This iconic sculpture has inspired many couples to declare their love for each other. This commissioned painting made a perfect wedding gift for one such couple, both Penn alumni. The groom proposed to his (now) wife in front of it!"
