My Friday afternoon was spent in Erin Vincent's downtown studio, sifting through antiques, collected ephemera, fabrics, and numerous works of art.
Sharon Brown is a performer and educator who gravitates towards works of art that make a statement. The art that hangs on the walls of her home, that she shares with her two sons and husband, varies in medium and subject matter. Personally, she is attracted to the spirit of strong females, be it the artist who created the work, or the subject matter of a painting. This feminine spirit is found in prettier elements too, like in paintings of butterflies or a vintage bowl.
I love when my work and social life collide, like one summer afternoon in August when freelance author, writer, editor, and (full disclosure) my dear friend, Vanessa Farquharson, let me stop by to take some photographs of the home she shares with her husband (and also my dear friend) Jacob. In between sipping lemonade and catching up, I documented the vignettes of their house that have remained despite the house being in a state of transition; remnants of a recently flooded basement occupied their dining space, and her office (which she has aptly named “the officery”)
This client's varied tastes define her collection. From traditional to contemporary, small and large works find a home in almost every corner.
As a gift for my youngest sister, I commissioned Erin Vincent to paint her childhood teddy bear. A memento of her past immortalized in a miniature work of art.
