Frankie Wyant

Collaboration Cure

Sammy 1

Watercolor on Canvas  

  

Artist Statement

My niece, Frankie Wyant’s interpretation of one of my favorite photographs of my cat, Sammy.

I showed my favorite photo of Sammy to my niece, Frankie, some time ago.  Frankie was adopted at eighteen months of age from Ethiopia by my sister and brother-in-law in 2008.  Now fourteen, Frankie has just started high school, is a phenomenal swimmer and is involved in everything from volleyball to horseback riding to sailing. 

My job, as her uncle, is to encourage Frankie to explore her artistic side.  So, I invited her to collaborate with me on an entry for Collaboration Cure.  That’s where the photo of Sammy comes in.  Unknown to me, Frankie had already been working on a painting based on the photo and planned to surprise me with it.  So, when I asked her to team up with me for this project, she eagerly accepted and presented me with her painting.  I was and am so impressed!  Not only by her talent, but by her selflessness and generosity.  I think she will have a very bright future.
