Back to My Roots

February 10, 2016

Evanston Illinois has a lot of special meaning for me. Throughout my life, I have been drawn there for many reasons. For instance, I grew up in Evanston. My husband and I had our first apartment in Evanston. My children went to Northwestern. And most recently, I sat by my mother's side as she passed in Evanston. There is so much more that spiritually brings me to Evanston. And now, I am excited to say, I am in a gallery show in Evanston!

One of my series from Strength in Solitude was chosen for Lens 2016 at Perspective Gallery. You can get the details here. Please join me at the opening. I'd love to meet you in Evanston!

My image “Enter Here” will be on exhibit at the @positivespacestudios_mundy with many of my talented colleagues in @chicagophotographicartssociety I hope you can stop by to see this cool space and the exhibit. There will be a closing reception as well, date to be determined.

A work in process… a new medium. Shout out to @gerrywithag__ for his mentoring.

Walking Away…. I reworked this image and I like it better than the first version. Some people asked me what it meant. At the time I didn’t know. But as I kept reading The Postcard by @anneberest various images came to me. One of the main characters tries to forget the past. This image felt like the woman walking away from the memories that haunted her. #neveragain #illustration #thepostcard

The unthinkable… These two images are influenced by The Postcard written by @anneberest After finishing the book, images kept appearing in my mind. Some encouraging and hopeful. Others dark and disturbing. Needless to say, these two represent the latter. #neveragain #illustration #thepostcard

Remembering better times... Nights in the city. Influenced by The Postcard (author Anne Berest) as she described a night in Paris having a cocktail while in other parts of France the invasion had begun. #neveragain #illustration #thepostcard

A premonition of things to come. Or thinking of what used to be. Influenced by a book I just read titled The Postcard by Anne Berest. More to come in this series…. #neveragain #illustration #thepostcard

I’m having fun creating new work in class. Check out @annelizmacf teaching Photo Artistry @chicagobotanic This piece was an experiment with multiple layers, blending, and color modes. #grungeaesthetic #photoshoplayers #chicagophotographicartssociety
