Boopsie Daisy by Lucia Heffernan
Stylish, whimsical, and full of character, Boopsie Daisy is a delightful new painting by Lucia Heffernan. The piece features a white bunny donning oversized black flower sunglasses and a chic black-and-white bow perched on her head. Set against a stark black background adorned with loose, hand-painted white daisies, the composition is simple yet striking, allowing the subject’s personality to shine through.
This bunny is more than cute — she’s confident. Lucia’s signature touch transforms the character into a stand-in for unapologetic self-expression and playful individuality. It’s classic Heffernan: technically masterful and emotionally resonant, wrapped in a humorous, fashion-forward package.
About the Artist
Born in 1966 in Taiwan, Lucia Heffernan immigrated to the U.S. at age 13. With no knowledge of English, she used drawing as a way to communicate and connect—a habit that laid the foundation for her future as a storyteller through art.
After studying Fine Art and Design at Binghamton University, Heffernan enjoyed success in graphic design, co-founding Lead Dog Design during the 1990s tech boom. But painting remained her passion. In the 2000s, she shifted her focus back to fine art, gradually developing her now-iconic style: animals engaging in human activities, captured with classical realism and an imaginative twist.
