  • Why did you create this work?
    Portraits are only as good as the position of the model and expression of color. I wanted to frame a young woman in a colorfully flowing dress inside another frame surrounded by objects that make life worthwhile: coffee, plants, books. Her stance, her position, her expression, it's alluring and different, creating a story you're allowed to fill in the blanks.
