Arusha Transposition
Photography
original w/frame $225
framed 12" x 18"
Featured in the current "Fleeting Moments Street Photography II" exhibit at the Athenaeum in Alexandria, VA. The juried exhibit runs through September 22, 2024.
Something a little different - taken from my extensive library of photographs. This photo was taken in Tanzania and I love the juxtaposition of the young girls walking to school in their uniforms, while the older women in the background are selling their produce. In Tanzania women are committed to finding a way to pay for their children's education. I caught the shot from my motor vehicle when I was at a stoplight.
Can be viewed and purchased at the Athenaeum in Alexandria, VA

acrylic, oils on archival photo paper

framed size 14" x 17"
Original and Limited edition 8" x 12" reproductions available for purchase at Artworks@7th Gallery in North Beach, MD
The artwork transforms an image captured at Chihuly Gardens in Seattle Washington. I have to admit I almost gave up on this piece after the first spiral because it was very difficult to convey transparency and the reflection of the glass image which I was trying to create. Now it is one of my favorites.

The Raisin at the end of a Hot Dog
NFS
acrylic, oils on archival photo paper
Gullfoss "Golden Falls" in Southern Iceland. I started with a black and white photo, and painted light, shadows and color to evoke the feeling of being protected from the cold yet beautiful landscape. The title comes from an Icelandic saying meaning a pleasant surprise or the highlight of a day or an experience. This saying captures the sentiment of the moment.
