About a year ago, I began adding photographs of the artists I work with to their bio/statements. The response has been great! Everything in the gallery is one-of-a-kind and hand-made, and I find it helps to engage with the piece when you know a little more about its maker...so I decided to add the pictures of the artists to our website:
The photographs were fantastic! Some are taken by professionals while others are candid shots -- here are some of my favorites...

Double Parlour (a.k.a. Ernie + Cassandra Velasco)
Some of the photographs feature artists in their studios...
Rachel Paxton in her newly renovated studio in Jamaica Plain
An intimate portrait of Jessica Pisano working in her studio
Fleur Palau and one of her muses surrounded by paintings in the artist's studioAnd I especially love these approaches as I HATE having my picture taken. I am inspired...
Allyssa Spry behind a bunch of daisies
Amanda Atkins behind a book, painted by the artist
and Samantha Wilcox wrapped in a soft pink scarf.I am so grateful to be working with so many amazing artists -- not only talented but extremely supportive and inspiring. Now, you can see all of their smiling faces here!
Hmmm. I'm inspired to attempt a self-portrait, perhaps in the guise of a Saint...Lucy perhaps!?
