Melting At The Thought Of You | Original Mounted Metallic Print Print

This photograph represents the whimsical element of water and romance in creativity, and evokes the feeling of "melting at the thought of you". I practice a type of art I like to call "zero waste art", simply because I haven't found a better term for it, but I am inspired by my scraps and failures in art, and make conscious decisions with my art waste by practicing reusing! I am always experimenting, so how this piece came together was really a bunch of scraps. Originally the shoot was simply to capture the makeup, but in post production I was moved to highlight the gold, the sense of water, of romance in the photo. So, I took some scrap light painting photos I had and layered them as a digital mixed media photograph in Adobe Photoshop. The title came after, and somehow it all fell together. This photograph was featured in the "Expressions of Recovery" Gallery Exhibit hosted by 934 and Fresh A.I.R. Gallery in Columbus, OH -- May 2019. With all of my artworks, I wish to evoke a feeling of beauty and joy through creativity, whatever the medium. I love bright colorful subjects, and am constantly inspired to create my own fantasy wonderland to share with the world. My artworks range from expressionism to abstract and even some editorial art as well. I often have words behind artwork that speak to me, and I try to pair my works with a poem to help evoke further emotion.

It is mounted on black matboard and has a wire support on back, so it's ready to hang!
