About the Work: This artwork is based on a vintage photo of young girls (4 my mom and 5 my aunt respectively) dressed for church in Memphis Tennessee in the late. 40s. As a family photo, I grew up seeing this picture and it always fascinated me to think about my mom as a young girl. She told me stories about them dressing up on Sundays for church. After it was quilted I made sure to add the pearl earrings, the lace collars and my mother’s bow. Even added the lace on their socks and iridescent fabric for their patent leather shoes.

About the Piece:
We often speak about possibility as something external—a door opening, an opportunity arriving, a dream fulfilled. But possibility begins much more quietly, in the moment we allow ourselves to imagine a different life, a fuller life, than the one we were taught to settle for. Through the eyes of a child surrounded by color, butterflies, and wonder, Wrapped in Possibility reflects the hope, imagination, and self-belief that make transformation possible. It is a reminder that there is something sacred about believing your future can hold beauty you have not yet experienced.
