I love art. Painting, photography, drawing, crafts, sculpture... all kinds. Finding the time to do it, including photography is a whole other story. Toward the end of last year, i made a concerted effort to bring back the art in my life. It helped on so many levels! One of the things i started doing was something called petri art. It's a style of art developed by artist Josie Lewis made by dropping alcohol ink into epoxy resin. The ink drops down into the resin and hardens, and it created the coolest patterns, designs and colors.
If you've seen my photography, you know i love macro photography. I mean LOVE it. To me, its like finding new worlds and capturing things you can't see the naked eye. So, naturally, as soon as i saw the cool patterns in the resin art, i had to photograph it. I love it so much, because it looks like underwater or alien worlds. I usually find time to photograph at night, so i will use a single light source, like a flashlight, to add dimension and interest.
Recently, I was blessed to have a local art consultant who, among other things, finds artists for gallery shows, come across my work and want to include it in an upcoming summer show at a gallery in Richmond. The work will showcase my macro resin photos. I am so excited to be able to combine two things i love, art & photography, and have the opportunity to share that in a gallery!
I will share more details on that show, which begins in June 2nd. Until then, here are some shots!
