Commissioned by Inspired Interiors - I was challenged with making 5 figures - mother, fiancee, two sons, and her grand-daughter. Personality started to reveal itself once I found patterns to use for each figure. Scrolls for the girls, and linear patterns for the boys.

Manvi Pant: "Through Real Life Heroes, I aim to unite people from diverse backgrounds, flora and fauna, color and language, caste and community, religious beliefs, age, identity and gender under one roof, where, they can share their stories and leave impressions of their internal voyage."

2 more Third Friday's to see the show! July 21 & August 18 with a closing reception. 7-10pm Hope to see you! Artists: Set Gozo; Robin Dong; Nicholas Alexander Hayes; Karen Goozner & me! I had the pleasure of meeting Manvi 2 years ago - a beautiful up and coming writer from India. Coincidentally she works at a company I freelanced for in the past. She wanted to write a story for International Women's Day. We Skyped, fell in love with each other (not literally), and made an instant connection. This year she writes about 'Real Life Heroes' and asked me to be a part of it. Click picture below and enjoy! Thank you Manvi!
"Real Life Heroes is a social initiative, a collection of personal journeys of people – who have carefully preserved the ‘spark’ they’re born with, who have dared to turn all the incoming possibilities into successful endeavors, who possess unflinching confidence and who are unconventional at their roots." |
