Some Photos...

I keep forgetting to post new images...well, pretty new. I have found it increasingly difficult to find the energy to shoot! With baby here in a matter of weeks, I can foresee the scope of my work changing considerably.

A Quick Post of Dallas Images...

Running out of the door for a gallery tour of Dallas, but wanted to post a few more new pictures.

Some images from Dallas

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 01:43:00 +0000

So, I'm in Dallas for SPE right now (photo conference for my non-geeky friends). Being in this photo-centric environment always makes me contemplate the work I am creating and gives me so many new ideas. It's simultaneously exhausting and exhilarating. Plus, I love being in a new city and viewing it with virgin eyes. The snowy image below, not Dallas. It was the drive over Snowqualmie Pass to Seattle, where I flew out of, and was taken before the weather got bad. Two hands on the wheel became necessary in the ensuing snow storm.

More images to come.

New Images...

I've been photographing windows lately, or window-light vignettes. Now that I think about it, I used a lot of window images and doorways in my thesis. At the time, I looked at the symbolic connection between my anxiety with finishing school, the choices I would have to make, and the window/door images (symbolic icons of choice/options). Now, as I look forward to my new role in life as a mother, I suppose that the windows would resurface. I wonder what it means that the windows are shrouded, either in fabric or diffused, so that the external options cannot be viewed....hmmmm. Maybe it just means that the future is unclear...welcome to parenthood, right?

Found Images

I came across these 2 images while putting work together for an exhibition; I think I shot both of them this summer. I've had some extra "down time" with a broken foot, so I've been going through images and trying to be somewhat productive!

"Aggregate" Show Opens Next Week

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 19:14:00 +0000

My show next week at Spokane Falls Comm. College is a compilation of several different series all in one exhibition. This collection, a combination of digital, c-prints, and B&W images, offers unsettling vignettes of often strange, psychologically charged spaces, creates an exploration for narrative, and brings a sense of confinement with modular groupings.

Showing Work at SFCC

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 06:44:00 +0000

After months of self-banishment, confined to our new "old" house with paintbrush/scraper/drill in hand, I am finally venturing out into the Spokane art community. As an intern (yes, I said intern) at a gallery downtown, I am meeting some amazing, talented local artists and getting my feet wet with the local art scene. Speaking of which, I am honored to be showing a varied collection of work at the photo gallery at Spokane Falls Community College in a couple of weeks. And, my photo friends can really appreciate this, but I hear that the college has an original Ansel Adams print in the gallery which will come down for my show.......Yes, I think a certain hot Southern destination truly has frozen over.

Return to the Blog...

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 00:40:00 +0000

I've been MIA since the holidays. So much happened around that time and I am only just now refocusing. Anyway... I am preparing for an exhibit in February, enjoying my experience at a gallery here in Spokane, planning several upcoming trips, and lastly, gearing up to teach at a local college. With sunshine reappearing after a long winter absence, I suddenly feel anxious to get out and photograph. That, however, will have to wait until I heal from a foot fracture- in 6-8 weeks. Regardless, I plan to use my down time productively, building model airplanes or learning to knit or something. :)

Winter Storm

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 20:40:00 +0000

It is a winter wonderland here in Spokane today. We have more than 2 feet of snow in our yard and porches. Molly, our Boston Terrier, had a scare when she got lost in it last night. Luckily for her, I went to her rescue in my pajamas and pulled her out from under our deck. I would build a snowman, but I might get lost in the yard.

More Columbus, MS images

Oops..photos from Columbus, MS earlier this summer...

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 00:35:00 +0000

I took these photos earlier this summer. I was visiting my buddy, Lea, in her hometown of Columbus, MS. I am way behind in posting new images, but trying to catch up!

New House Pix

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:30:00 +0000

We've been very busy working on our new house and thought we'd show a few current photos. In every room you will find either a bucket of spackle, a drill, or ladder as it really is a construction zone! We've remodeled the fireplace, tore out a wall upstairs, painted just about every room, and the list just keeps going.

Our First House!

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 05:35:00 +0000

We are so excited- we just bought our first house! After only 12 short years, we've finally decided to settle down! In less than 2 weeks, we start our long drive back to Spokane. As you can probably tell from the photos, the current owners are still living there but we can already imagine ourselves there.

Post Graduation

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Sun, 18 May 2008 05:49:00 +0000

Now that the thesis show and graduation have passed, I am working on some new images. Just want to see where this all goes...

Thesis Show was a Hit!

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 02:29:00 +0000

Well, the thesis show went great. I officially have an MFA! I was fortunate enough to share the spotlight with my friend and brilliant sculptor, Tim Kinard. The night was wonderful; we had a fabulous turnout where all of our hard work was enjoyed by our friends and fellow artists. I wanted to share images of the show with my family and friends back home, so enjoy!

MFA Thesis Show

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 07:50:00 +0000

Well, the time is here! In less than 2 weeks, my thesis show opens! This is a very exciting, exhausting time in my life. I will not be adding any new images to my blog in the next 2 weeks, as they are all my newest pieces for the show. I hope you will all come check it out and I look forward to your feedback. I am especially proud of this collection of images. In addition to the images, I will be showing off my newfound carpentry skills, as everything was built with my own two hands.

The show opens Friday, April 18th, from 5-7:30pm, at the Art Museum of the University of Memphis. Along with talented sculptor, Tim Kinard, our work will be up through May 10th. For more information and artist statements, go to Upcoming Exhibitions at http://www.amum.org/.

Springtime in New York!

noreply@blogger.com (Picturegirl95) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 06:51:00 +0000

Ok, so it was a cold, windy springtime, but New York was amazing! I've been fortunate to travel to quite a bit, but had not yet made it to the big apple. It was a wonderful first trip and I am already planning the next one in June. I went with the University of Memphis' ARTS club; our itinerary included Dia Beacon, the Met, MOMA, visits with photogs Elinor Carucci and Dhanraj Emanuel, a visit to Rolling Stone magazine (awesome!), and so many other great things! We slept little, had many adventures, and took a couple of pictures. I thought I'd share a few images...
