the magic in the mundane…

“I paint with the knowledge that everything is intriguing. Everyone is the hero of a story. Every moment is the climax scene in its own novel. My personal challenge is not to seek out remarkable inspiration, but rather to seize a seemingly mundane, everyday moment and illuminate it in a manner that reveals its beauty and poignancy.”

Our friend Nina is extraordinary. Her art is almost as extraordinary as she herself is. She has a sale on this weekend of some of her “back room” work that I think is well worth perusing.

I just thought I’d share one of the people that inspire me and the things she has created while being inspired.
