I am truly thrilled with this new piece in my Decision
Portrait Series. I've known this couple for years.... before either of their
two beautiful daughters was born. "Soul Mates" says it all. They’ve been married for years. One of their two daughters snapped the photo
for this artwork. They knew what
stereotypical racist people would think of their union…. but they were in
love. They are still in love. They will always be in love. The color of their skin has nothing to do
with the emotional, spiritual, day-to-day, interconnected, marital and family
bond that their love created. They are
SOUL MATES. They knew it and acted on
it. They decided to get married, have a
family, and live happy lives together.
