Ensnared by the sudden blooming of a fragrant flower, Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and taken to the underworld, the greek myth of the beginning of the cycle of life: death and rebirth.

In my own life, the near death of my beloved husband and his rebirth – transformed into a fresh and blossoming soul has embodied me for this cycle; loss, darkness, regret and then hope, joy, and hard work harvesting the beauty of this new life.

My images reflect the sadness of aging and death and rejoicing of beauty in the regeneration of life with ephemeral mixtures of memory.
