Mother and Child

Honorable Mention: Mother & Child

When we are born, we have the future ahead of us and it is full of opportunity.  At this starting point, I imagine the photo properly framed and in pristine condition.  But time marches on.  We grow, we age, and eventually the pristine photo becomes tattered as it fades, creases and eventually falls out of the frame. 

We want so much to be remembered while on this earth (as suggested with the handwritten “Remember Me” in the frame).  But even this photo that was once treasured by someone, has no names, dates or locations on the back – nothing to denote who the people are, where they are from, etc.  Instead of being remembered, we are eventually forgotten.

The creative process had disastrous moments but I kept moving forward until the piece came out of ashes. Continue reading Out of the Ashes

Universal Language

New Art Piece: Universal Language

This new piece is part of my ongoing “Remember Me” series.  I prepared the canvas earlier this year but had difficulty adding the components.  Early iterations had a different frame, photos, and orientation.  Nothing was working but I didn’t get discouraged.  The best part about the creative process is the moment when I know it’s right.

Little bashful one, make haste and take flight

Little bashful one, make haste and take flight

I just completed a new art piece, “Butterfly wings”.

Artist’s Statement:
Little tentative one, make haste and take flight with your shiny, gilded wings.  While you may damage the wings along your journey you have what it takes to be courageous as a lion yet delicate and beautiful as a rose. Continue reading Little bashful one, make haste and take flight
