"The main focus of my work has become storytelling...
honouring the lives + stories of women
through portraiture."

The Grandmothers::Rose Muzyka

I wanted to send you this image of my Grandma Rose Muzyka.  She will forever be this age in my mind.

My Grandmother died long before I was born. My dad was only 18 when she passed away. I have seen many photos of her and have heard many stories but she will forever look in my mind as she does in this photo.

When we were cleaning out my Grandfathers home (the home my grandparents raised my dad and his sister) after he died. I found an old purse of my grandmas... in the purse was lots of Knick knacks and a tube of her lipstick, I opened it and realized that her and I created the same shape from applying  our lipstick.( a very weird shape) like a shape I had never seen anyone else do. Lol.
I realize that sounds so silly, but it meant something to me. It made me feel closer to her. ♥️
Every time I see this photo, I think of her applying her lipstick before this photo was taken. I can see her looking in the mirror and smacking her lips after the application.

I love this photo very much.
