Lina from Studio 617 was interviewed today on ABC's Morning Blend. Pretty thrilled that my piece and name were included in the interview. :)
I'm so proud to be a member of Tampa Bay Society of Photographic Artists and able to take part in the exhibits at Studio 617. :)
Tomorrow is the Heat show!

Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope was a multi media exhibit at Studio 617 from March 31st until April 26th, 2017.
It was my intention to stay close to the theme in my work for this show. I love to combine an organic nature photo with abstract effects in post processing. :)
This is the image from the Facebook event page. Artist unknown.
---------
“Drift Past the Flowers” was inspired by the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky
With Diamonds” in which they sing “the girl with kaleidoscope eyes”. I enjoyed
choosing the bright, psychedelic colors. A fun, dreamy song for them. :)
---------
“Refashion” is my interpretation of man mirroring nature with the creation of
this metal flower, as well as nature mirroring itself in the flower’s symmetry.
---------
“Chasing the Fourth” is a reference to the fourth dimension…mysterious
in fact and fiction. When I was taking that photograph I was fascinated by
the light bokeh from the sunrise behind these wild grasses. I wanted to create
a small amount of an abstract mirror effect using it.
---------
“Polity Polarity” is a social and political observation referring to our present
state in our country on the news, social media, etc.. Polity is a word rarely
used but it is another term for society or nation.
Two Exhibits: Nasty Women Art Show and FMOPA International Photography Competition
And for a little controversy on this fine day. ;)
This is the photograph I donated to last night's fundraiser by the St. Pete Women's Collective to benefit Planned Parenthood.
The title is "This is My Country. This is My Body. You May Take Neither." It was a concept I wanted to shoot in response to our rights as women being infringed upon. Our right to healthcare, our right to choose, our right to be treated and respected as equals.
Everything is on purpose, right down to the bruise being left on her knee.
I learned of the art show a few days before my scheduled shoot and it seemed perfect. I love this woman. She's a dear friend, artist, and such a trooper. The emotions she showed during this shoot were fantastic.
Thank you to St. Pete Women's Collective for putting this together.
This is our country. These are our bodies.
This image was selected by Women's March Florida to use on Facebook for their new zine and to encourage more art submissions. :)

Daydream Peaked was entered into the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts International Photography Competition under the category of form. I didn't win! But did alright! :)
