Shrine of Summers Shells




Shrine of Summers Shells

The 'Shrine of Summer Shells' is a monument showing the beautiful shells my sister left behind.

This piece is created using my sisters clothing, and her collected sea shells. Her clothing collection is in itself a beautiful body of art. Amassed during her life, each piece holds story's, memories, smells and visual clues in to her radiant spirit.
Her bedroom was always a jewel box, with precious bits of beauty exquisitely displayed.
On top of her dresser she created an incredible alter of jewels to wear, along with bejeweled picture frames of loved ones, shells, seeds and feathers. This alter would frame her face when she looked in to the mirror, reflecting back her beauty including all that she loved and admired .

Catch


".....When you went deep, we threw our nets to catch you. When you went high we threw our nets to catch you. To bring you close to us."
excerpt from Summer Love by me





These photo's are of an installation, 'Catch' within the Bird Girl Project. Inspired by a letter/poem 'Summer Love', I wrote to my sister as her spirit departed this earth.

Autumns Rush



h
These are three mixed medium paintings done this week. Each one is 9" x 12". I couldn't help but sketch some of whats enveloping me! The colors and textures that surround me here in Columbia County NY, are beyond beautiful. I have not been able to drive a straight line this past week. My head is being pulled in every direction trying to absorb every particle of gorgeous life...I am happy to be here:)
