Artwork Background: During the first week of November I sat down with my Grandma’s vintage 70s sewing magazine clippings. I was feeling emotionally charged after packing up my grandmother’s belongings with my mom & aunt in Virginia as my Grandma transitioned from independent living to Memory Care. All of this with a thick added layer of election cycle chaos felt really heavy.
As I started to creatively assemble these clippings I pondered what wise words these ladies would provide from their 70s perspectives and let the words spill out onto the canvases. Afterwards I felt more like myself; more centered, hopeful, amused, and inspired. Art always has a way of doing that at the exact right moments.
