Finnbarr Webster—Getty Images by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Feb 14, 2020 3:45 PM UTC One lucky home in England got a huge Valentine’s Day surprise. It wasn’t an unexpected bouquet or a box of heart-shaped chocolates from a secret admirer, but a piece of art by the artist [Banksy](https://time.com/5417659/banksy-art-self-destructs-1-million-sothebys/) on the side of their building. The work of art that now adorns a wall in Bristol, the home city of the artist known as [Banksy](http://content.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1825271,00.html), shows a stenciled girl firing an explosion of red flowers into the air using a slingshot. Kelly Woodruff, who co-owns the property had no idea her house had been hit by the artist until she was tagged in a photo on Facebook with someone asking if that was her house. “And we were like, ‘woah it is’,” [she told _The Guardian_](https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2020/feb/13/say-it-with-banksy-valentines-gift-catapults-house-to-street-art-fame). “We are super excited.” The pseudonymous artist confirmed the work was his by posting two images of it on his official Instagram account. Even before it was official, though, crowds had reportedly gathered to see what is now being called “the Valentine’s Day [Banksy](https://time.com/5422104/banksy-shredding-memes/)”. Amidst the hubbub, the home owner is now trying to figure out how to protect and [preserve the valuable piece](https://time.com/5661254/banksy-brexit-mural-disappears-dover-uk/) of art that is on the side of her house. “There isn’t a handbook for these kind of scenarios,” she told _The Guardian._ “\[W\]e’ve never been in this situation so any advice is welcome.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5784376/banksy-valentines-day/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5784376/banksy-valentines-day/"},"headline":"There's a Lot to Love About the Banksy Art That Popped Up for Valentine's Day","datePublished":"2020-02-14T15:45:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:18.152Z","description":"The piece appeared on the side of a home in Bristol, Banksy's hometown","url":"https://time.com/5784376/banksy-valentines-day/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Art","Banksy"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta3f3f3b827bca2f8/698a0a41db298751e9264f29/bristol-banksy-valentines.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta3f3f3b827bca2f8/698a0a41db298751e9264f29/bristol-banksy-valentines.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Banksy Valentine's Street Art Appears In Bristol","caption":"Banksy Valentine's Street Art Appears In Bristol","creditText":"Finnbarr Webster—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5784376/banksy-valentines-day/","name":"There's a Lot to Love About the Banksy Art That Popped Up for Valentine's Day"}}]}] ```
