Mother's Wish
This is Robert Nagy. As I traveled through your site tonight I felt compelled to share with you one of my resent drawings. The one attached is titled "Mother's Wish" I must begin the story behind this drawing by first telling you that I also design and make dresses. My cousin who is the brave volunteer to model these designs is the foundation behind this drawing. After viewing some photos of a shoot two pictures kept drifting by my computer and in turn the creation of the Mother's Wish was developed. I took the idea behind the life of a butterfly and reversed it. In a "Mother's Wish" a child is born with their wings and later in life as they grow and mature they must then shed their wings and walk the world of reality.
I have never used the title of artist because I always thought of an artist as one who creates a work of art that touches someone in a special way. I know that most of what I do doesn't fall into that, but when I showed this drawing to my cousin and told her the story I received the biggest hug. I never expected that but it is a feeling that I will never forget. A feeling that for the first time made me feel like an artist.
