A Journey . Acrylic on Canvas . 24 x 48 (each canvas)
This series was inspired by an extremely talented couple; a professional actor and a professional dancer; a mother and a father. Their love for music, dance, and singing brought them together and has continued to be a big part of their journey as husband and wife. Inspiration came from numerous performances throughout their lives. Choreography from solos and duets performed all over the world were studied while sketching. Also represented in the paintings is the choreography from the show Hair (when this talented couple performed together) and the “Dancing Through Life” choreography from the musical Wicked. The more personal inspiration came from a pose they made after walking down the aisle and the fun dance they had together right before delivering their first child. The composition of this series as a whole was configured after “I Could’ve Danced All Night” from one of their performances in NYC.
