'A Bittersweet Dream'
Fall 2011

This collection was inspired by my favorite author, Tom Robbins. Each piece has connection to one of his books, characters or quotes.

"Our individuality is all, all, that we have. There are those who barter it for security, those who repress it for what they believe is the betterment of the whole society, but blessed in the twinkle of the morning star is the one who nurtures it and rides it in, in grace and love and wit, from peculiar station to peculiar station along life's bittersweet route." ~ Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume
