Come Wander Along with Me...

I wander...it is simply what I do.  Since I was a young girl, my parent's tried everything to keep me close to home, going to such  measures as to buy me goats.  Though I loved my goats, my heart still  wandered.  

Growing up in rural New Jersey, I was surrounded by dense woods and long stretches of farm land to fuel my imagination.   I felt at home in the arms of the forest and spent many days laying upon the fragrant mossy soil staring up through the filter of leaves... watching the light dance.  It is these experiences that I work to remember.

In adulthood, I discovered the joy of capturing those precious moments, through my camera's lens.  Though the many years in between my youth and the present, I have enjoyed many wonderful adventures and am currently wandering in another people's land.  For the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of living in Europe and learning to look at life in a very different way.   

Through my images and my wanderings, I hope you will enjoy seeing the world around you... in a new way.

So...I invite you to "Come Wander Along with Me..."

My First Time Out the Gate…

picture-1

It’s 2 weeks away and I am framing like a crazy woman…with hands that look like Swiss cheese. Piles of paper, archival tape and matting lay about my space and the finished pieces line the wall….like soldiers waiting their orders into battle.

About a month ago I committed myself to participate in my very first art fair as a Fine Art Photographer. A huge mixture of emotions have followed me since I made the date. Am I ready, will anyone buy anything in this suffering economy, but with my whole heart I know it is time. After spending the past 3 years teaching myself photography in all it’s forms…it is time to open that gate and let this horse run. Success or fail, I can honestly say this is the first time in my entire life as a working artist that I know I am doing what I was meant to do. This work is so much a part of who I really am.

So on June 5, I will unveil my work at the Hotel Silken Berlaymont in Brussels. If you are in the area please stop by and say hello!

May 30, 2009 - 12:47 Phil Vaughn - I agree with Michael. All your efforts will speak for themselves because you know your heart and own your vision...and you are true to them. You are a "good heart" that is piloting so much talent. You'll do just fine. There are many of us who are proud of you. Best wishes...
