Visual
Art
I enjoy photography and the digital manipulation of photographic
images. I first got into this when I began making CD covers
for the live recordings I was producing. Since then it's
become something I do to exercise my creativity.
What I photograph changes with time. I am always interested
in beautiful landscapes. I think they begin to hint at the
expansive possibility of abundance and vitality available
to us in all aspects of our lives. I also enjoy capturing
difficult to identify images, those that require interpretation
by the viewer. Recently I have been working more with the
human form, attempting to learn how to capture essence in
portraiture. I'll spare you most of the pictures of my wonderful
dog, Bear, though you can bet I have a few.
Digitally creating and manipulating images is especally
useful to me in times when I feel emotionally "stuck."
When my feelings are running deep and strong, but I cannot
approach them due to confusion, fear or shame, sometimes
I am able to create a visual representation that serves
to open the channel to understanding.
Unlike the path I have taken with my music, in my visual
art I am trying to do more with less of a financial investment
in equipment. I use Photoshop clone software, Jasc Paint
Shop Pro (now distributed by Corel - I have not used their
version) and a reasonably priced semi-pro cameras.
