Combining Art Forms

Averie Consalvo



Averie is my oldest granddaughter. She's one of those people for whom everything sports related seems effortless. She is an accomplished motocross motorcycle racer, a surfer, and very good at soccer but not interested in that sport at this time. Her newest passion is gymnastics. She follows in the family footsteps. Her mother, my daughter Alexis, was a very good gymnast all through her school years. She was always the one who did the back handsprings for all the cheer and pom routines in high school.

Averie has been working hard at this sport since moving to Arizona a year ago and has been invited to try out for the competetive team at her gym. She is working in all the disciplines, tumbling, balance beam, uneven paralell bars and vault.

I created this collage of Averie from a picture taken by her second cousin, Rachel. The echo quality of it happened rather accidently, as is the case with most of my best pieces!
