“While doing research on the British florist Constance Spry, who did the flowers and, surprisingly enough, co-created the chicken recipe for Queen Elizabeth’s 1953 coronation lunch, I was struck by Elizabeth’s radiance and grace as she prepared to take the crown.”

“I have a bit of an obsession with Mona Bismarck. In my opinion, she was truly the most exquisite style icon of the 20th century. I loved drawing her catlike aquamarine eyes and silver hair.”—Cathy Graham

When the artist was a student in Rome for a year in the early 90s, he filled seven sketchbooks while “wandering the streets, drawing and painting anything and everything.” This particular sketch, he says, is of “Bernini’s beautiful sculpture (his sculptures are all beautiful) titled Habakkuk and the Angel, in Santa Maria del Popolo.”

It was then that he absorbed what he assumed was an ornithological fact, but later learned was his illustrator mother’s creation: that birds were adorned in jewels and patterned with floral feathers.
