about the piece.
I wasn't sure what to do for Lyra's one year anniversary. This seemed the most natural way to express how much we miss her, though nothing can really do justice to how deep of feelings we have and how much we still mourn her absence in our lives.

about the artist.
Rachel lives in Kansas with her husband of four years and a gray cat. They lost their first child, Lyra, at 30 weeks due to placental abruption on December 18, 2009. Rachel maintains a blog called Curls O Fred.
