The Front Porch

ABOUT THE COLLECTION The Americana Collection Fine Art collaboration with photographer Caroline Jean Gray began when she and Lydia serendipitously struck up a friendship in the streets of Middleburg, Virginia; a place dear to both artists, the pair began working together in 2024. Quickly they realized their shared love for a focus on creating art to uplift the soul and conversation drifted to the broad inspiration of American life. Suddenly the two were planning a collaboration to capture the iconic America that would promote, and reawaken a positive and uplifting vision. Together, creating a visual anthology that honors timeless elegance, regional character, and elevated style across the American landscape. ABOUT THE PIECE:  The American front lawn is a phenomenon unlike anything else in the world; a generous, unguarded offering of space that speaks to the American character.  In a global climate of walls and borders and distrust, The American Front Porch is the threshold between the private and public space and is always one where a friend and stranger alike is welcomed and given the modern world's most expensive commodity free of charge-- time.  SIZING 9 x 12" on watercolor paper
