She Took to Flight

This series draws inspiration from the art collector’s home, old notebooks, photographs and newspaper articles, discovering and representing memories from his wife’s family stories and life. The small symbolic bird ornament, a gift from her late mother, was photographed on a nightstand using the Hasselblad camera for extremely close detail and then made into a large fine art print. The limited edition works have been in exhibited in several galleries and private collections.
