Something Old, Something New

Well, not that old! But Red Flags over Atlanta has been around since 2018 and has been in quite a few shows. If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you know I love construction sites, and this is one of my first successful #HardHatArt #PerformanceArt images. I call them that out of great regard for the hard hats who stare at blueprints and wiring and plumbing diagrams and miraculously produce beautiful, functional buildings. It is an amazing feat. Visually, I am fascinated by the highly transitory patterns, textures and colors that change daily as the hard hats work. That…

“Dune Jazz” on a Roll

Categories: RecognitionTags: · · · · · Leave a comment

It’s one of my favorite pieces. Why? Well, in part because it reminds me of my life journey. Growing up in Iowa, this kind of fence was a common site.., but it was holding snow instead of white sand! It lined the highways for miles, so that when wind hit the fence, it slowed down and dropped its burden of snow at the fence instead of on the highway. Imagine my delight upon moving to the south, visiting the Gulf Coast, and discovering that “drift fence” also makes perfectly good “dune fence”! Those connections that span decades and tie different…

1 Show, 3 Images

For the first time ever, three of my works were invited into a single national show! “Alchemy of Light” is an online show hosted by an all-online gallery called Nuu Muse Contemporary, based in Dallas, Tx. Light is of course a foundational element of photography, but infinitely variable in how it interacts with the world. The three images I submitted and are in the show each presents a very different light challenge and each projects an equally different mood. I should get up early more often! First Light is day dawning over a fallow field. It happened only because I…

Running behind on blogging as usual! “Bellisima,” Italian for “very beautiful,” is an online show that closes June 28. It’s hosted by KBM Art Gallery, Riverside, CA. You can view it here. I have two works in the exhibit. This is the fourth show for both Peach Champagne II and Âme du Bayou. Many thanks to the KBM Art Gallery jurors for including my work. Indiana University at Kokomo is currently hosting “Ethereal” in their brick and mortar gallery. Their call for art described the theme as a quality that possesses almost perfect or extremely delicate features that pertain to…

That’s a wrap…

A show I had two works in closed yesterday and I never got around to writing about it! Such is life. (Sigh.) “Whispering Colors” was a show theme that captured my attention, just as the muted, gentler tones of earth, sky and water often attract my camera. Consider, for example, sand, which both of the images invited into the show featured. The sand in the background of Things Unspoken is the rather typical tan color we associate with sand and expect to see when the word “sand” is used as a color name. If that soft turquoise in the upper…
