Weekly Challenge 9

Reworked Image

Full Fall Concentration Series 1910-Future

Concentration Statement

My concentration follows the progression of women through the decades, beginning in the early 1900s. It shows the stereotypes and gender roles of women as they went through their daily lives. The photos will be in black and white with selective color, increasing in color as women gain more freedoms in society. I will end the concentration with a self portrait to show that I am only here today because of the women before me. This is important to me as a woman in the 21st century because I am only able to be who I am, to be able to vote, live on my own, not be defined by a man because of the women that fought for their children and grandchildren, me.

Weekly Challenge 8

This challenge was an opposite media/ type of work. I chose architecture and did a rough outline of my dream house. The first floor is to scale where 1 inch is 4 feet. The second floor isn't as much to scale.

Silk Painting

This is my silk painting of the Philadelphia skyline. I would give this a 4/5 because the gradient ended up really strong but the craftsmanship needs a little bit of work. In photoshop I cleaned up the resist lines and the gradient a little bit. I plan to drop a little more color with salt to improve the gradient of the skyline.

Center City, Philadelphia

View from my hotel room, 11th floor on the corner of Juniper and Broad. William Penn looking good in the cold morning air.

Duchambe, BMoCA, and Pearl

A photo of a building close to Pearl Street in Boulder. I loved the strong reflection of the clouds and sky in the windows.

Weekly Challenge 6

This was a typography project in Illustrator. Billingsgate is a synonym for profanity and Bumbershoot is a synonym for umbrella.

Weekly Challenge 5

For Weekly Challenge 5, I chose Food Art. This was dinner Saturday night, caprese bread with balsamic.

Narrative Series

I chose to emulate Lorri Honeycutt for this series about a couple wandering through the woods on a snowy night.

Weekly Challenge 4

Portraiture in nature with a friend. This was only a few.

20 Layers

20 Layers project created using album covers, paint, colored pencil, yarn, buttons, a transparency, lace, beads, sand paper, and ribbon.

Weekly Challenge 3

This week, I was challenged to create a work of art not using Photoshop. This typography was done using Adobe Illustrator.

Weekly Challenge 2

I tried to pull forward the color red without using red. This is a self portrait.

More Art From Summer

 Another ghost image with my beautiful ballerina friend.

I wanted to create the idea that she is floating away on a balloon in a field.

Weekly Challenge 1

Weekly Challenge 1. Artist Emulation: Cole Thompson. This was my first experimentation with HDR. These are trees near my house and a beautiful set of clouds.

Summer Art

Summer Art. My beautiful ballerina friend posed for me in front of a black sheet and danced for me. I stood above her on a ladder for the B&W and for the ghost image, I used an extended shutter speed.
