Winfield - is a new series of closely cropped portraits of feminine presenting people. The people in these portraits come from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, but are wearing the same flowers and wistful expressions. The work speaks to larger themes: the performance of feminine identity in American culture and universal experience of looking and being looked at. This new series of portraits debuts @lillians_phl September 9th. • • • #ambrotypes #wetplatecollodion #wetplateportraits

Studio life as an artist mother who is about to turn a solid 43. My canine brother-in-law -Vern has been a huge help in the studio this week. My human tiger daughter will be 4 before August is done. Here’s to summer kids, good dogs, curls and midlife. We’re unplugging for a few days of camping and adventure. #artistmother #midlife #curls
