ABOUT THE COLLECTION

The Americana Collection Fine Art collaboration with photographer Caroline Jean Gray began when she and Lydia serendipitously struck up a friendship in the streets of Middleburg, Virginia; a place dear to both artists, the pair began working together in 2024. Quickly they realized their shared love for a focus on creating art to uplift the soul and conversation drifted to the broad inspiration of American life. Suddenly the two were planning a collaboration to capture the iconic America that would promote, and reawaken a positive and uplifting vision. Together, creating a visual anthology that honors timeless elegance, regional character, and elevated style across the American landscape.

ABOUT THE PIECE: 
While driving back home through the hills of Upperville the long driveways always catch my attention-- but on this day they seemed particularly captivating. The misty mornings and the mist and haze of a Virginia rain always catch my breath and attention. Is it the narrative that must be just beyond the closest cloud? Or just the possibility of a view to be had if you catch it just so. I'm afflicted by the not knowing.
