A special piece for & ,

with love from ( your name goes here!) xxx

The final piece is shown below.. read the full story of all the details and how it happened …

This collection captures the passion, happiness and shared history of two people, their friends and family.

Inspired by amulets and milagros (ancient symbols of love and protection) the heart symbols reference local places, landmarks, discovered details and histories. The expressive brushstrokes are inspired by map references and symbols, as if taking a journey.

Fragments of music scores, architectural elements, patterns, historical information, recipes, ancient script and maps tell the story of a
love between 2 people and their family.
