November 2nd, 2011 was my Last Supper ...
I was done. I was ready. I was empty.

On November 2nd, 2011 I shot my last commercial photography work. It was intentional, I had prepared myself for it and I had worked on reinventing myself and help my husband open and run his business. Why would I quit creativity? why would I turn my back to something that brought me so much joy, enthusiasm and success?

I was done. I was dry. I was empty. November 2nd, 2011 was my Last Supper.

November 2, 2011: on set testing lights and mood for my last commercial work for Kate McGarry's new album cover
Since then I 've raised a strong girl, I have become an entrepreneur  and launched an amazing business and I have fallen in love with customer experience and company culture. I'm happy, I have everything I want and I look forward to planning my early retirement. But this is not enough. In the last 8 years my Creativity has been folded and put in a drawer in a room locked with a key that I can't find.

A few months back I felt this incredible sadness for the part of me that stopped living, stopped developing and took a great backseat to everything else. I remember thinking about my photography days and how I missed being creative and getting easily excited about a creative idea. That's when it hit me. What was I waiting for? all other pieces of my puzzle were in place. Why would I not listen to the voice that kept telling me to grab the camera, grab the pencil, take myself out to museums and galleries.

It was time. When I turned 44 last year I told my younger self I would honor the past and reconnect with Art.
So I gifted myself a ticket to Art Basel in Miami. And that's where it all started again.

I'm trying to open your links in your site to view your work, but nothing is opening. Is your site working, or is it my computer?
Thanks, Matteo...See you on Instagram under Lurman.
