New Work: Costa Rican Natural Wonders

When I started working seriously on my photography about 25 years ago, I had decided to be the "Georgia O'Keeffe of photography." I took literally tens of thousands of closeup images of various types of flowers. Which was fine until smartphones because ubiquitous and someone's "lucky shot" on their phone suddenly looked indistinguishable from the image I'd carefully composed, chose the correct lighting, and ruthlessly curated.

But every once in a while, I go back to my roots (especially as I'm now the person shooting with my smartphone predominently these days).

Here are some of my favorite nature images from a recent vacation to Costa Rica (and yup, there were some very lucky shots here, too):

New Work: Reflections (Costa Rica)

Last month, I took a canal tour at Tortuguero, Costa Rica. It was an overcast day, so the water was like a dark mirror. Here are a few of my favorite shots:

New Work: Sunflower Festival (Concord, NH)

This purely personal work was shot during a recent trip to the SunFox Farms Sunflower Festival in Concord, NH:

New Work: Nature's Tinsel

New Work: Dandelion

Because it's been way too long:

"Seeing Red" (Chinese Poppy Photograph)

Here's a preview of "Chinese Poppies III," my photo which will be on display at
the New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA)from February 1 – February 26, 2012.





The exhibit is called "Seeing Red", and it's an all-media unjuried show.
(However, since the work of NHAA artist members -- with very few exceptions -- must pass a rigorous jurying process before membership is permitted, the quality of work is typically pretty good.)


Take your Valentine to the opening reception on Friday, February 3, 2011, from 5 – 8pm.

The Backyard Challenge (Paying Attention to What Surrounds You Everyday)

I recently met a photographer who shared with me an intriguing anecdote about a colleague who created a series of photographs shot entirely in his yard. This AM, I attempted something similar, limiting myself only to the grounds of the apartment complex. Below are some representative images:















(This last one's a detail shot of a mushroom.)

I encourage you to get out and capture images of the wonders in YOUR own backyard.

The Pickup Artist (Sepia-Toned Nature Photography)

Drop-offs and pickups are one of the more mundane tasks associated with being an artist who showcases her work in area venues.

Yesterday, I transferred my two pieces from the NH Art Association's juried Parfitt show over to the Association's Small Works Gallery.

I also delivered two new pieces to the Association's main gallery for its newest show, entitled "Views of the World Through the Artists' Eye."







I arrived close to the end of the day, so several other pieces -- in a variety of media -- had already been delivered by this time. Even though it's a non-juried member show, all members must be juried into the Association. As such, the overall quality of the show promises to be quite high.

I encourage you to attend the opening reception for "Views of the World Through the Artists' Eye" on Friday, October 7, 2011 from 5-8PM. The show runs through the last weekend of October.

Today is the last day to see "the Vision and the Word at Exeter Town Hall. My husband Darren and I both have pieces in the show, as do several WCA-NH members. I especially encourage you to see the assemblages by Linda Aronson, who runs an antiques shop just a few doors down from Town Hall.
