A Palm Beach icon, reimagined in pink and poise

In this striking portrait, I blend two eras of Palm Beach luxury into a single moment of quiet elegance. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, ever composed behind her signature sunglasses, sits poolside at The Colony Hotel, a place where legacy, glamour, and storytelling all converge. With soft hues and layered reflection, the painting invites viewers to linger on the details.

Inside the Art: The Story Behind Jackie at The Colony Hotel

Since its debut in 1947 as “The Golf View,” The Colony Hotel has been a magnet for American royalty, entertainers, and political figures. Just blocks from the Kennedy family’s “Winter White House,” it became a stylish haven for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and the Palm Beach elite.

This portrait, part of my ongoing series honoring Jackie’s enduring style and spirit, captures her poised presence against the vibrant backdrop of The Colony’s mid-century charm. The sunglasses tell the story: one lens reflects the hotel’s retro poolscape, the other shows the blush-pink exterior as it stands today.
