Inspiration can come to us in many forms, including through the quirky habits of family members. That is certainly a part of Becca Wallace‘s story, whose grandmother was the sort who wouldn’t let anyone throw anything away. This “habit” led to two little cabins on her property filling up with vintage toys and objects that she couldn’t bear to part with over the years.

It wasn’t until her grandma had passed that Becca unearthed some of these treasures, but she has found a most meaningful and inspired way to honour her grandmother’s nostalgic heart through her strikingly modern yet charmingly sentimental fine art photography. And I think you’ll agree, the results could easily make one heartsick for a bygone era of simplicity and endless hours of child’s play.

For those of you in the Toronto area, Becca is currently showing at the One Of A Kind Show at the Direct Energy Centre {on now until December 8th}. Not only does Becca offer frameable prints, but she also has some stunning pieces mounted on wood block and finished with resin. This treatment of her already striking photographs absolutely pops the saturation of colour and takes them to a whole new level. The only difficulty will be choosing which one{s} to take home!

If you’re unable to make it to the One Of A Kind Show, check out Becca’s Big Cartel store.

Wishing you an inspired Monday!
