Time to be an exhibitionist...

Over the past few months, I have been fortunate to have some of my pieces displayed in an online gallery called "Light Space & Time".

I used to watch all the Hollywood award shows and snicker when the nominees would say it was an an honor to just be nominated in the company of the other great actors. After having my art selected and seeing it included in an exhibition, I have a better understanding of what that answer really means. It is an honor to see my work displayed next to the creations of such talented artists from around the world. To know that someone has seen my work and deemed it accomplished enough to acknowledge as a finalist in a competition is truly gratifying.

This photo, done in a style to pay homage to the incredible flowers that Georgia O'Keefe made famous and simply called "Georgia", was the first piece I entered in an SLT competition and I was lucky enough to have it chosen as a Special Recognition winner in the May "Nature" exhibit.

Golden Glow

I've clearly established that I love color and fun. I've also noted that I'm real enough to know that there are moments in life that require a subdued tones and for that, black & white set the mood. Yet, photos, like life itself, are more complicated than that. Times of quiet reflections are perfectly suited for the golden hues. The soft, warm glow emanates right off the page and into the viewers soul.

Extroverts

I have always been drawn to the sunny side of life. Whether it is the glimmer of a new bud transforming into a perfect bloom, the beauty of a butterfly gliding by as its wings glisten in the light, or going outside to greet the sun itself, I like to surround myself with all things bright and cheery. Color makes me happy. "Happy" is my favorite emotion; it makes me feel empowered and ready to tackle the world. And I believe emotions along with their subsequent reactions are what drive me to capture the even the simple moments. This collection of color represents all that engaging in life.
