Mildred, Mother of Snow

Juliet Schreckinger is a Long Island, NY based artist. Her work is typically created using a stippling technique in pen & ink and graphite, with occasional splashes of color. Juliet’s pieces are inspired by the ocean, nature, and all of the creatures within our world. Since the time she was a child, Juliet has been fascinated by black and white photography, colorless television shows, and film noir movies. Being exposed to the lighting effects and sharp contrasts shown in these photographs and films greatly inspired the type of work that she does today. Juliet’s work is centered around giving a voice to nature and animals, with the goal of showcasing their importance in this world. Through an illustrative take on fine art, she strives to express a story in each drawing.

Collection Title: "East Coast: Nautical Myths and Legends"
Growing up on Long Island, New York, I always felt so inspired by the ocean and absolutely loved hearing old tales and folklore about the sea. From shipwrecks to stories about haunted lighthouses, I am and forever will be curious when it comes to nautical myths. For each of the pieces in the show I have written a tall tale of my own. These images are intended to be a small window into the experiences of my characters as they encounter what waits for them by the sea.

The Story:
He had put his shirt on inside out and backwards, following along closely when his older sister had told him that this was the way to get a snow day. Children all around the town were following similar methods and traditions, all with the common goal of getting to spend a day at home building snowmen. Little did the children know, this was all pointless until Mildred came to town.
Mildred, an ancient snowy owl, had followed the same route every year as the temperature dropped. Until she passed through a town on her annual journey, there would be no snow there. She would live out her winter enjoying the sea breeze on Nantucket Island; there she would rest, always with a smile spread across her face as the snow began to fall around her. Before making it to her winter home, however, she would always allow herself one full day at the Owls Head Lighthouse in Maine. During this time of year it was almost always empty, which she loved. When she landed beside the lighthouse, she would watch as countless beautiful snowflakes began to float down, shimmering like stars in the light from the fresnel lens.
If you had asked her why she brought the snow with her wherever she went, she would have given you a strange look. With a smile, she would have responded with something like, “Why is the sky blue?”
