When I think of certain people in my life, certain words come to mind - and not necessarily the usual ones like shy or outgoing, short or tall. Certain people in my life bring to my mind words like cappuccino, cupcakes, encyclopedia, green, adventure, poetry, radishes, snowblower, shortbread cookies and clay.
Mary brings to my mind the word colour. That's the first word that pops into my head when I see her. Her gorgeous collages and mosaic sculptures are eye candy. Her home is a happy world of key-lime green and tuber rose pinks. Colour shines from Mary's spirit like light. She should never be photographed in black and white. (Yes, I know, Mary, I photographed you in black and white once before. Tear it up!)
Happy Belated Birthday again, Mary!

Yes!! Mary is Color!
Happy late birthday Mary!
