I love to collect many things. I love colour and lots of quirky figurines, dolls, boxes, etc.. wherever I can get it. Grouping little vignettes is something I've done all of my life. Even when I was a little girl in my room, I'd set up little scenes involving various objects and my dolls. I'd enjoy the little stories I'd create, and then change them at my whim.
I often like to switch around the art I have. A new context brings new life and appreciation to the piece, the room, and ultimately, to my happiness. There’s no better feeling than rediscovering an old favorite , or noticing a detail of a painting you never noticed before – now that it’s in better light. The new grouping here above the yellow chair is of an older piece newly framed, and a newer portrait which I love. I sit on my couch directly across from these women, and I love the colour they bring to my space, as they stare back at me!
My husband David was turning 40, and what to get for him was proving a challenge at best, so I looked to Erin Vincent for help. I thought of 10 of his favorite things: from an Alpha Romeo to Mike and Ikes candy, and then sent the list off to Erin to do what she does so well. A couple of weeks later, voila! 10 wonderful 4?x6? boxy sculptural artworks for the gift of the decade! They sit on his desk and are stacked and played with by everyone in the family- each one a great piece unto itself, but wholly one fantastic tribute to David!
