Sillygoose is deeply honored to receive a heartfelt mention by acclaimed filmmaker and storyteller Mary Knight on IMDb. In a deeply personal reflection, Mary shared her experience commissioning a portrait from Sillygoose, describing how the artwork became a profound connection to her past and her late sister.
“I don’t have photos of her at age 7, so I gave only a photo of her at age 50. What I got back was a drawing that looked so much like my sister (now deceased) at age 7 that it took my breath away!” Mary wrote. “My family is disjointed (for many, very good reasons), but through the drawing, I felt more connected to my past. Thank you! I was amazed at the likeness to my mother!”
Mary Knight, whose work spans filmmaking and storytelling, revealed that this experience has inspired her creatively. She is incorporating the story into a short story and referencing it in her upcoming documentary, further highlighting the emotional and artistic significance of Sillygoose’s work.
For Sillygoose, this recognition is a powerful reminder of the role art plays in storytelling, healing, and preserving cherished memories. The studio takes great pride in creating meaningful, emotionally resonant artwork that connects people to their loved ones and their past.
This heartfelt acknowledgment by Mary Knight is not only an honor but also a testament to the transformative power of art and its ability to touch lives in profound ways.
