First off Gwednolyn is not really a queen, nor a fairy. She took on that status when my kids first met her. She seemed magical, she seemed regal, and my kids were strong readers in the genre of Fantasy; a genre of imaginative fiction involving magic and adventure, especially in a setting other than the real world. To my young and impressionable kids, living in a yellow school bus in Nicaragua was definitively fantasy. (see the related post in January of 2011)
Gwendolyn is an exceptional artist, as well as a mother, a potter, a teacher, and a multitude of other vocations. While she and Santiago were visiting Mira Flores last year Gwendolyn agreed to create a piece of artwork that would fit nicely on our walls.
Everyone that has seen it could not agree more.
