When the 2014 annual holiday potluck chez Maeder rolled around, I was in a quandary over what treasures to bring the hostess and fellow dinner guests: Judith and Karen. The task of shopping was daunting; the idea of making something exciting. But what to make? I breezed through several options before figuring it out in the shower. The best ideas always come in the shower.

Les Copines Undines Revisited is in the works.
I decided to create paintings based on Les Copines, a series of fine art beach photographs, shot by photographer/designer
Cheryl Maeder, starring me, Judith and Karen. Maeder requested that we
be her beach babe muses. The experience was between us... our Maederized portraits for all the world to see.

"My photographs are paintings I create with a camera"

| These simple magnetic frames are a HomeGoods score. |
One thing I love about making a gift for someone is that during the entire creative process, I am binge watching the Walking Dead thinking about that person and sending positive energy their way.

Maeder got an extra painting. She was, after all, potluck hostess. Cloud Nine 1 has always had my heart. Go to her website to see the original photographic inspiration.
