A new project has begun for 2010.  I have been invited to participate in a collaboration with a group of fabric / textile artists (awesome quilters!) called Sisters in Cloth.  This group evolved a few years ago from the Guilford, Connecticut “Newcomers” organization.  One of the “sisters”, an incredible fabric artist, Diane Wright, contacted me last November and asked if I would be interested in working on a project with the group.  The idea is that my photographs will be inspiration, either by color or composition, for their work.  We met a few weeks ago and this photo was taken the day I met with the group.  They have now chosen 15 images to work with and be inspired by.  Each artist will work with the photo they have chosen to interpret.  Over the next few months I will also visit each artist in their creative spaces, studios, or kitchen tables, and photograph them working on their pieces.  Our ultimate goal is to create an incredible collaborative exhibition of photography and fabric art.  Exciting! to be continued...

The light in winter is filled with the spectrum of subtle to brilliant.  Even on the coldest days the crispness of the light can help us depart from the fact we are bundled in layers. The other morning before I went and photographed a beautiful new born named Sophia, I stopped by the Guilford Harbor.  It was still snowing a little and the morning light was just coming through the thick clouds.  The beauty of this light as it kissed the water was a gift. Enjoy the light that surrounds us this time of year.  It helps feed our winter souls.

…these were the words that came to me as I was creating this photo exhibition for the Madison Art Cinema.  During the darkest time of the year, I wanted to infuse the walls with light.  This exhibition is a celebration of light and the deep beauty discovered within this light.

I want to thank everyone who joined me at the Artist Reception on Saturday, Dec. 12th.  If anyone is interested in seeing the exhibit, the Madison Art Cinema is open during screening times.  They have a matinee on Wed., Fri.,Sat., and Sun., with evening screenings daily.  If available, I would be happy to meet you at the cinema and personally show you the work. “Light…Water…Flow” will be on exhibit until January 14, 2010

Have a peaceful holiday season.

As I was in the process of thinking about creating a website, I knew I had to work with someone who I trusted, both professionally and personally.
It took awhile until I was ready to articulate how I worked and what I wanted to share in this website. Cathi is an incredibly talented artist, and has
begun to design websites. I knew I needed to work with her on this process. We have known one another for years and have always had a mutual respect
for each others work.
Cathi lead me through the steps, I shared with her my vision and together we created this website. A continuous work in progress. That is what I needed,
a site I could change, develope, and have a place to share my passions. She listened and was patient with my learning curve. Thank you Cathi for your
continuous encouragement and support.
