This statue may look familiar to you if you have visited the Rose Cliff Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. Unfortunately the class I was taking didn’t allow nudity so she’s a little more covered up than how she is in the garden. This is one of my favorite pieces I have made to date, so much that I got it framed!

"And I almost want the worst to happen sooner rather than later, and if possible straight away, so at least I don't have to feel anxious about it anymore."

"We wanted the bad thing to happen fast, for the painful moments to be over so we could go on with our normal, boring lives."

- Ocean State, Stewart O'Nan

Newport, Rhode Island

Rhode Island was the first road trip I ever made. I fell in love with Newport from the moment I crossed the bridge. It was about 8:30pm when we arrived and had snowed the night before.

It was freezing, but those two days were really worth it. Not for nothing, Rhode Island is called the Ocean State.
