Serenity

Calm the soul, free the spirit

My sister Barbara had the idea of doing a piece that would embody the word serenity. I like the idea of creating a form that is quiet and centered. She’s in a balletic pose. As a visual artist, I'm inspired to create by watching dance — in particular, contemporary dance and ballet. It’s a wonderful way to study the human form. Dance is sculpture in motion, the ultimate in expressive human gesture.

Your Stories Tell Us Your Story

We moved to Germany, with the Army in 2009 when I was 7 months pregnant. I delivered my son on December 16, 2009. Four days after he was born he was in the hospital fighting, and he recovered. He came home and was with us for a month before passing unexpectedly in his sleep. I got so many gifts, flowers, and cards--but the most meaningful gifts I received were my Willow Trees. I received a Remembrance Keepsake Box, the Serenity Angel, and the Miss You figurine. I have collected these for a very long time, and I feel like they tell the story of my journey.
