Summer is breezing through quickly and my hope is yours offers you time to dream and feel joyful!
For me, the last few years have been a time to remember and embrace the dreams of a much younger me. The one I thought I had left behind. Reminding myself of who I was when I was just thrilled learning f-stops and apertures, printing on fiber based papers smelling of sulphur and darkroom chemicals. There was a pure joy of making art in new ways, added to pencils, paints, hand applied art making I have always loved
Remembering the girl who thought everything was possible and could not fully decide who to become because there was so many wonderful things I wanted to be part of. Who I was at the beginning of ‘real life,’ of making a living, motherhood, trying to do what was right and adult responsibilities. Loved the path found for decades photographing with families and people yet this part was still there waiting for the right time to reappear. To blend with all I learned as a portrait artist with camera with fine art making.
Of course, still a family portrait photographer just taking limited commissions, enjoying working with wonderful people on the sand along the surf. There are just a few dates available, if you would like to schedule your beach or pool photo shoot.
Then backyard pools are open now and the perfect place for underwater commissions beneath the surface - just amazing!
Done two art shows this summer, this has been so fun and it’s been wonderful to share my work… love seeing my works enhancing homes. So much of life is embracing who we are and sharing it with others. Labor day week end my work will is available at Canterbury Art Show, St. Georges by the Sea, Rumson. This is a Juried show and sale. Beginninging September 15, gracie and shea, part of Ethereal People, will be exhibited with The Healing of Healing Show in the Englewood Hospital.
Cannot think of a time (other than falling in love with my babies) that life is so peaceful and content, my wish is this you.
