Oh, what a time we are in… isolated and perhaps even a bit scared to meet people, at the same time socialize and to be social is such an important part of life. Today I tend to flowers and plants as my best friend and ally when creating and photographing in my studio. They have been my savior this past year. I’m slowly getting ready to crawl out of hibernation, with 2 covid-19 vaccinations under my belt I am ready to meet the world.
I believe 2 months of shelter-in-place has changed a lot of how we as a society behave and how we think about our future. To relax and move anxiety towards a more positive state of mind I went to my studio a lot. I am lucky to have my own studio where I could shelter safely 🙂
I decided to play and experiment with ideas that I have had for a long time. Finally I began with all these new projects I’ve been dreaming about. It was liberating! I brought out some paint from my storage, amazing and fun colors, to do monoprints. I had collected leaves of course as it is one of my passions to photograph.
the fun is to begin..Oh, I love these colors.. this blue green quickly became a favorite of mine.
I have so much to learn from my painter friends! Like… how to perhaps have a simple vision beforehand because when the paint is down on the paper you can’t really photoshop it away or desaturate parts of it. Hahaha! Well, that’s what learning is all about.
Still at the shipyard and in Building 101. Just a few coridoors west of my old place. This is such an amazing opportunity that I have been waiting for a very long time. I can’t believe it is really happening!
Still figuring it out… where shall all my stuff go? 😂
My view so you can find me. I’m in Building 101 Studio 1117
Custom color matching prints for client that is adding work to an older collection of mine. A different tint will become a sepia toned print before it’s framed. This is such a gratifying job when you know they will go to a good home.
