Inspired By Love

Inspired By Love - My Tribute to Valentine's Day

Inspired By Love is a photo collage piece I created some years ago as a tribute to Valentine's Day.  I was awakened early one Valentine's Day morning from a dream of which the muse was speaking to me of love, art and life.  She whispered that a saint who was watching over me would point me the way to complete my circle of love. 

At that moment images began floating around in my mind.  I remembered a photograph I took in Antigua, Guatemala of the statue of San Pedro (Saint Peter).  I went outside and grabbed a copy of the New Times which is a local Miami paper and I began to cut out sections including Art, Music and Film.  I stopped by the local flower shop and purchased a red hibiscus, then went back home and assembled the different parts.  I took a photo of the work and titled it Inspired By Love.

Incidentally, later that year that I met a beautiful woman who is now my loving wife.  My muse is never wrong.  Happy Valentine's Day!
