Mixed Media Paper Sculpture 'Lucky Enough' by Jane and Michael Lewis

This is a contemporary mixed media shadowbox artwork by Michael and Jane Lewis of East Street Studios in Tampa. The piece features a three-dimensional paper sculpture of two tropical fish, possibly angelfish or butterflyfish, rendered in vibrant yellow, orange, and red stripes with green fins. The fish are layered atop pieces of torn aquatic-toned paper (teal and light blue) against a dark navy blue background embossed with swirling patterns. The artwork is housed in a deep shadowbox frame which creates significant depth, with the fish appearing to float. The matting is white and features handwriting in black ink that reads, 'If you're Lucky enough to live by the Water— You're Lucky enough', with the signature 'Lewis' in the bottom right corner. Small embellishments, possibly rhinestones or glass beads, are fixed to the background to represent bubbles or eyes. The craftsmanship is professional, utilizing precision cutting and layering techniques typical of high-end paper art. The condition appears excellent with no visible fading, moisture damage, or debris under the glass. The style is characteristic of late 20th to early 21st-century coastal artisan studio work, known for its whimsical and colorful tropical themes.
