A joyful living archive of art and testimony from Prince's worldwide audience. Explore the museum
I am a nurse from the Pittsburgh area that lives in South Carolina with my husband. I never got to see Prince live before he passed and it's one of my life's only regrets. He was a musical genius and we are lucky to have his music and legacy live on. I'm a penny portrait artist (when not nursing) and Prince was my first portrait. Women not girls rule my world, I said they rule my world, is my all time favorite Prince lyric.
Bethany Tobias is an RN in the Hilton Head, South Carolina area. Her penny art evolved from creating penny floors to making original portraits of people she admires, entirely out of pennies. Bethany's husband Toby epoxies the portraits and builds the frames out of wood. Recently, Bethany nearly caught her garage on fire while experimenting with tarnishing pennies in her backyard. She did not tell her husband. She is originally from southwestern Pennsylvania, and loves all things Pittsburgh.
