Little Secrets
by Cassandra Barney
In Greek, the word is ornis; in Latin it is avis; and in Hebrew
it is mopeth. When translated into English these words each have
the same two meanings: “bird” and “omen.” The
association of birds with prophecy is a primeval one and can be
seen in augury, the ancient art of predicting the future by observing
the behavior of birds.
In Little Secrets, a woman is visited by a small bird
with a secret trapped in its beak. Whether the woman has just confided
in the bird, or is hoping to hear its news, one thing is clear:
this bird is not telling.
The subjects of Cassandra Barney’s compelling portraits are
instantly recognizable for their grace and their enigmatic gazes
and the woman in this painting is no exception. This is one Little
Secret you will love to keep.

Pirouettes and Pachyderms
by Emily McPhie
"Life, as they say, is not about the destination, but the journey,"
says artist Emily McPhie. "It's about whimsy, about having
fun with life and where it takes you." Both the twirling little
girl and the smiling painted elephant in McPhie's debut limited
edition print seem to embrace the adventure of a walk with no destination.
Emily McPhie may be a newcomer to the Greenwich Workshop family
of artists, but she is no stranger to artistic families-both her
father, James C. Christensen, and her sister, Cassandra Barney,
are celebrated artists with The Greenwich Workshop.
Emily received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Brigham Young University
with an emphasis in painting. She lives in Chandler, Arizona with
her husband Gavin and their three daughters. "Motherhood has
brought out some pretty strong emotions and ideas," says McPhie.
"Translating those thoughts and emotions into images gives
me clarity, and I find I want to document them before my perception
changes." McPhie is definitely an artist to watch, and Pirouettes
and Pachyderms will make a wonderful start to your collection.
