THE PERSONAL STORY:

mo saw a documentary on a forest area on the Dalmatian coast, now Croatia, where there are all these waterfalls and an abundance of wildlife including the european wildcat !  mo’s grandparents are from that part of the world !!  The mountain in the background is styled after Saddleback which can be seen from all over Orange County, California. mo  spent many mornings in the early dawn light bike riding the foothills of Saddleback.  The birch trees behind the wallaby are like the one’s from mo’s yard when she lived outside Chicago.  The windsock . . . touches on the skydiving roots which helped mo save up money to move to San Francisco and go to art school !!!


THE ART STORY:

mo’s goal was to capture the dawning light she experienced on bike rides and climbing trips.  Light that has a yellow haze while the shadows are still cool and dark.   This one she worked on as part of the original seven for her masters project and remains one of her favorite originals.
