I am always amazed by the inspiration that daily life brings.
My newest collection, Snapshot, grew from a simple moment in time when I looked
across the table and realized that my one time little boy had grown into a
young man. How did those years go by so quickly? I couldn't stop looking. In
that moment completely unnoticed by him I took a mental Snapshot of him that
will live in my mind forever. When he
left for school I moved into my studio and began my newest collection. It began
with sepia as it is so representative of
an old photograph. Then I added pink, such a natural companion. Next came aqua,
green and a hint of yellow, all colors used in days gone by. As I worked the
color palette images of vintage photographs came to mind. Those images then
sparked other delicate ideas - roses, small birds and more. Bit by bit Snapshot
grew into something both lovely and nostalgic. Of course being the true
romantic that I am it will always remind me of my son.
