Hands of Heritage

Three miniature oil paintings on historic Mobile Bay pottery fragments, hand-collected along the Eastern Shore and displayed in brass and glass shadow box. 6x8x2”

I remember standing quietly at a sweetgrass basket stand as a little girl, watching the way the hands moved—steady and sure. It was like the stories were woven right in with the blades of grass. That kind of work stays with you. It makes you look twice at the ordinary. Plus, who can ever say no to a bouquet of sweetgrass roses?
