If you have not had the pleasure of experiencing the lovely mixed media works of Isca Greenfield-Sanders then I would say there is no better time than now (See above).
The artist, daughter of the legendary photographer Timothy Greenfield, has made much of her work from anonymous vintage photographs that she has collected over the years. Applying her mathematical skills (she majored in both mathematics and painting) she uses watercolors and pencils to makes tiny tiles that when pieced together equal the sum of the painting. She then creates whimsical slices of hazy poolside memories, summers long ago, gentle beach scenes, and my personal favorites: parachutes falling sweetly from the sky.
