"I've been working on this Rainbow series for a while. The first image, the Red, was created in memory of my Mom. It was her favorite color, red roses were her favorite flower and I just felt the urge to create something for her. I added the butterflies at the urging of my little model, who, every time she sees a butterfly, says that it is Mimi coming to say Hello. After finishing the red image, I decided that I had to do more. What started out as photo inspired by my mom, turned into a whole project devoted to her memory, her spirit and her love. She was an amazing woman, a funny woman, a loving woman, she was a rainbow."
