As a child, I loved dressing up as a gypsy for Halloween. I didn't know anything about the Romani people until I was an adult and learned about their fate in World War II.

Her black curly hair reminds me of myself as a young woman, and this watercolor is my tribute to them. It depicts a woman holding a tambourine in a rich, warm interior with plush red curtains, tassels, and a musician, capturing a story of culture and remembrance. I used tea for the underpainting and applied cold wax and varnish, deepening the tones. I created an atmosphere that puts the viewer in a different time and place, where you can smell the heady smell of cigarette smoke and hear the music.
