THE WORK
“The Story Circle” is a reading scene in a bright room, where a curly-haired little girl in a green velvet dress reads aloud to her playmates. Around her, a honey-colored teddy bear, a white teddy bear wearing a blue cap, a cloth rabbit in a red jacket, and a doll in a knitted bonnet form an attentive circle, like an audience waiting for the next page.

On the Oriental rug, paper cutouts form a small garland, while an open book rests in the foreground. On the windowsill, a plush puppy and a stack of bound books beneath a vase of pink roses complete the homey atmosphere of an afternoon of storytelling.

The palette, built around deep green, red, and warm wood tones, evokes the light of nineteenth-century genre paintings, with the green of the girl’s dress guiding the eye.

THE ARTIST’S WORDS
“With ‘The Story Circle,’ I wanted to capture the moment when a story brings everyone together. The girl reads and her cloth companions listen, and within that circle the room becomes a little theater. I chose to work with the light from the window, because it is the light that holds the scene together and softens the velvet and lace. The greatest challenge was to bring the richness of the fabrics together with the focus of reading without letting one overwhelm the other. I chose EMA Fine Art paper because its completely matte finish reproduces the green of the velvet and the reds of the rugs without any reflections, like a page from an illustrated book. I hope this print brings the pleasure of listening to a lovely story into people’s homes.”
