Daffodil Lessons

Daffodil Lessons

What daffodils taught me this spring about my artist self.

The Mother, Part 1

 

The day I watched the arboretum awaken, I saw spring herself.

She wandered the barren earth and called color from the ground with her toes. Her skirt train caught mud and pine, her cheeks pinched with the leftover chill. When spring arrives each year, I see her as a mother. The two roles are bonded in my thoughts. They share the ideas of growth, resilience, rebirth, change, and grace. When my dear friend became pregnant with her first girl, I knew I wanted to shoot something like this. Portraying the part in my mind where motherhood and spring come together.

The Guardians

The Guardians

6 hours. 5 women. Out somewhere in the mountains of Virginia where phone service is nonexistent. Traveling through a landscape that doesn’t seem real and even though it is, you feel too unworthy to be in its presence. A group called “The Guardians” comes to life.

The Path

The Path

All the plans I had went out the window. It was one of the biggest disappointments in my life at that time. A letdown moment like no other. Even today it is funny to remember how I felt, sitting in the van with a torn rejection letter. I was devastated, confused and angry. My life changed.
