Some of my favorite pieces I’ve created over the years…
Some of my favorite ways to create art is through self portraits. The images below are inspired by Cindy Sherman.
Another set of portraits inspired by Duane Michals. I’ve always loved the contrast of his work.
Self Portraits inspired by Miki Takahashi
Have you ever heard of the Dustbowl?
In response to that, I created these images- they are large prints.
I entered them into a competition and walked away a winner.
AMoA Awards & Honorable Mention
I put two pieces of my photography art in the AMoA in 2013 and won Honorable Mention. Though I didn’t win first place, that felt close enough. Painters always win first place, and I completely understand why! But it always felt nice to be noticed as a Photographer among so many talented Artists!
In 2014, I entered three pieces into a competition, and one was accepted. I was graduating that night, so I couldn’t attend the event at the AMoA. However, I had a few fellow friends there to record it for me. As I walked across the stage that evening, I won 2nd place. As I said before, painters always won first place… So winning 2nd place felt like 1st to me. The 3 mixed media photographic art I made still hang proudly in my home!
