Grandma Dorothy

20in x 20in Oil on wood panel and salvaged sewing cabinet wood

 

My Grandmother was a seamstress and I like to think I inherited a lot of my creativity from her. She also hated taking pictures and this one was my favorite of the few that were taken. I arranged salvaged bits of a pedal sewing machine wood (similar to the one she used) and arranged the pieces in a way that resembles an altar.
