Ladybugs for Lisa...

Lisa and Grace, September 2025 ...special delivery of Ms. Linda's art request for her daughter

​Thank you, Ms. Linda for trusting me to fulfill this uniquely wonderful art request. 


Earlier this summer, Ms. Linda introduced herself to me as Lisa's mother and asked if I could make art for her daughter -- to include ladybugs [Lisa's favorite] and "faith and hope" --  I remember feeling pure joy, the love between mother & daughter and accepted without hesitation. While speaking with Ms. Linda, we reflected on our mutual connecting person, Lisa and her remarkable presence in our lives, and I could not have imagined a more heartwarming full-circle moment.

** Lisa and I met a lifetime ago while working at the medical clinic, and over the years she has remained a shining light in my life. It is worth noting [as I believe many people in our community have come to know] that among her strengths, Lisa is compassionate and I am deeply grateful for her brilliance, kindness, and friendship **

A few weeks ago, during our in-person delivery of Ms. Linda's art request, Lisa shared with me the strength behind the Ladybug... faith & hope [A: 2 ladybugs].
In return, I shared my story behind the sister art piece [B: 4 ladybugs]... love is kind.
For each and both, in memory of Loves in our lives. 
For Linda and Lisa, I am thankful for you in my life.
With love and gratitude, Grace

Darby & Bill's 50th Wedding Anniversary

Dear Bill & Darby,  
In celebration of you and your 50th wedding anniversary this request was truly golden. As I reflect on the thoughtful and heartfelt details that Bill chose to emphasize, for me to incorporate in the art, this was definitely a request worth the challenge: to fulfill a five-decades-deep wish for you, your children, and your families, I hand-scripted, chosen phrases as noted for Darby, "all my love..."  for your daughters, "all our love..." and included your choice of yellow roses, hydrangeas, pink tulips, peonies, a few memories from your album, and a sweet wedding photo of you both, August 1975. Thank you for allowing me to celebrate this moment with all of you. And to all your Loves,  Ken and I extend our best wishes for continued good health and happiness.
With gratitude,
Grace
