Just a few decades ago, a family household would consist of three generations. Grandparents, parents, and children would all share their lives together living under one roof. (Remember "The Waltons" tv show?)
Today's generation is far different in most cases. Grandparents and grandchildren may be separated by many miles, and in some cases across the seas. Family gatherings may only be possible during special occasions.
To bridge the gap of time together, many grandparents commission us to create a portrait of their grandchildren to enjoy while their little loved ones are away.
Creating a portrait that speaks to the individual family adds layers to the portrait with meaning.
The camera study above is an example of the grandchildren sharing a story together within a garden made for the expressed memory of their late grandfather. Their story is repeated by the sculpture just behind them with walking stones gracefully leading the viewer through the visual story. This meaningful moment is captured especially for grandmother. A gift of art of her family that carries a lifetime of meaning.
