Harrison

This is a dedication to Harrison. Who passed away at 9 weeks old. His mother whom I don't know or know their story, but, only know that my painting spoke so deeply to her. Deeply enough to purchase it, have me inscribe her sons name on it and hang it where his crib once was. I am beyond moved, beyond understanding what she is feeling and experiencing. I hope this painting will bring her peace and comfort for days, months, years to come. 




The death of a baby is like a stone cast into the stillness of a quiet pool;
the concentric ripples of despair sweep out in all directions,
affecting many, many people.
--De Frain, 1991

Collaboration

What do you get when you combine "vintagey" cool ceramics w/ yummy smelling soy candles?

This!






BJ of Relight and I have been friends forever and have been sharing space at Craft Fairs and every time we say we need to collaborate and finally that idea is here.  These will be available at Unique LA, Patchwork Long Beach and Patchwork Santa Ana.  In lots of colors too......
