With an appreciation of history, art and architecture I had “a Eureka Moment”. It is not just about one edifice, so what I want to bring to my audience is a series of Landmarks. The Statue of Liberty exemplifies my finding a new home in America. I was inspired to create the art and am so pleased to include it in my portfolio of products for you.

The relationship between America and France is forever embedded in history with this famous statue. The statue designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholde and its frame by Gustave Eiffel, two Frenchmen, she stands proudly in New York Harbor greeting people from around the world since 1886. When completed, New York’s first ticker-tape parade occurred with a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland. Edouard de Laboulaye, a staunch abolitionist, first proposed the statue. The sonnet by Emma Lazarus, “The New Colossus” graces its base with some immortal words, ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free’ which in 1883 were intended to offer a place of safety to those fleeing pogroms in Eastern Europe.
These words and their meaning prompted me to create The Statue of Liberty design. From bringing out the brilliant patina of the copper or showing the majestic Liberty shinning against the black background this design is framed by a border either emblazoned with small torches, or with the “H” that represents my “signature”. This scarf comes in two colors; one with a red border and one with a blue border. More versions will follow but as any business at the beginning it will take a little time to let the entire creativity to translate into designs. I would also like to offer some pleasant surprises whose answers I am waiting for! A little suspense is always welcome!
