Florence House is a Home for chronically homeless women in Portland Maine. It's an inspirational place... a group of women trying to start over, and banding together in a place of support, love, and sympathy. I approached my mosaic group, the Piece Makers, with an idea: to each create a mosaic peace dove, and I will assemble them all into a mural of birds in flight on a wall at Florence House.... each dove different, but coming together, and moving in the same direction... just as the women of Florence House are doing. Today I installed the 17 doves, and they look amazing! They were installed in a communal area, and as the doves went up, the ooo's and ahhh's made me well up. Of the women that were there while I was installing, they all had favorites picked out, loved reading where they were all from, and were so amazed that strangers had created these pieces for them.
