This piece was inspired by some postcards I found online that were from a family's website and originated in Italy (used with the family's permission). Inspired by the Italian heritage, I decided to make a stylized version of my grandmother Flora Mezzo on her wedding day. The butterfly with the word "hope" represents the feelings all brides have on their wedding day, and especially for a young immigrant woman.
This is so beautiful...it brought tears to my eyes. :o)
