Together They Could Do So Much by Cassandra Barney ~ I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. —Maya Angelou

“The first time I put on an apron,” says artist Cassandra Barney, “I thought it created an illusion of working very hard, which I enjoyed. I also thought it was sassy to stomp around the kitchen in heels and my apron … but that symbol has transformed for me into an image of charity and hard work. It’s not necessarily about motherhood because there are, I think, opportunities in every season of our lives for us to give to those around us. With this painting, I’d like to pay tribute to those who give because they love.”
