Peter Gerakaris is clearly the most organized artist that she ever encountered, which says a lot, knowing Richard Pasquarelli. She met him at the Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge, where he had on display an outdoor mosaic of two owls. She landed at his studio in Cornwall and commissioned a smaller version. The gold leaf was absolutely radiant, the feathers burned like flames, and this suddenly became her spirit animal.
