Creating community among artists. Connecting artists to the community.
I am both a writer and a visual artist. I find that my writing and artistic pursuits enhance one another. If I’m stuck writing a chapter of my next book, I take a break and find that I’m more inspired in my studio work. I’ll be working on a piece of jewelry and find that […]
My photography reflects the emotional moments I see in the wild, especially animal mothers, their young and behavior. I also enjoy photographing landscapes, birds, flowers and butterflies. For years I directed a nonprofit serving the disabled and homeless. There is a connection between my nonprofit work and photography – humans and wildlife needing a voice […]
Bobby Izquierdo is a fine art photographer who loves to create stunning images that look like paintings. He uses photographic software post-processing to convert photographs. His recent works involve transforming daytime photos into nighttime scenes using Lightroom mask tools and Photoshop. The process is like light painting, but it uses software rather than lighting the scene […]
Working with abstraction allows me to intuitively play with materials. Collage and fabric are integrated as if they are painted. Saturated colors and vintage ephemera become unexpected partners. I enjoy the spontaneity of it. I draw, sand, scrape, and rub into the substrate to expose fragments of found images transferred to the surface. It’s an […]
I am a photographer with a focus on rural and urban landscapes. I also photograph building renovations from start to finish to preserve their history. At its best, landscape and architectural photography has the power to connect people with places, both visually and emotionally. I strive to build and enhance those connections in all of […]
My preferred subject matter is pieces of outdoor landscapes and architecture, natural and urban. I sometimes use digital manipulation of images. There is no intended story line to my work. I am trying to communicate peace and beauty through abstract art, and/or the beauty or intrigue of transient moments in nature and life. I […]
While fine art is always my goal, I consider my portraiture to be my signature medium . I strive reach the tones of the blacks and whites, and I work to create a connection with my subject and when that happens it’s communicated to the viewer. I primarily work in black and white so most […]
I have found a new interest in photography since I retired, and have found the challenges of the art of photography more difficult since I am now taking it more seriously. I enjoy the hunt for beautiful and interesting places to compose an image that is provocative, both emotionally or intellectually. Light and water play […]
Drawing a line with ink is simple. Drawing a line with electricity is alive. This line moves on its own accord, leaving a creative trail in its path, and burns charred channels in the wood. High-voltage woodburning is a new method of passing electricity over the surface of wood to create branching patterns called Lichtenberg […]
Photography is a creative outlet that encourages me to look at the world in a different way. My studio is the world and everything in it. My camera is my canvas and my lenses are my brushes. My digital darkroom allows me to refine my vision and use my imagination. I enjoy photographing a variety […]
