A Dream Comes True - My Photography in Urban Outfitters stores { Ohio Photographer } [ Michigan Nature Photographer ]

I was an artist before I knew I was an artist. It is just how I experience and walk through life and the world - seeing beauty everywhere.... fascinated with light .... interested in lines ... a love affair with nature and the world. There were days when I got frustrated with my work not being seen or appreciated. And like everyone, I thought about quitting. But I realized I must photograph. It is not just what I do - it is who I am. I can't "not" photograph. And so, continuing to do what I love and creating from my heart has finally paid off. I'm delighted to announce that my fine art nature photography will appear in the Urban Outfitters stores in the future - a dream come true. So while browsing, keep a lookout for my art prints featuring places in Ohio and Michigan! And until then, you can find these and more of my work in my ETSY SHOP and SOCIETY6 SHOP! Keep track of my daily wanderings on INSTAGRAM!

Perfect for Christmas holiday gift giving and stocking stuffers, they come in 2 sizes - 11 ounce and 15 ounce and both are under $20. And... now through midnight PST Sunday November 17 there is FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE in my Society6 shop by clicking this activation link.

Positive Energy { Ohio Fine Art Photographer } [Michigan Nature Photographer ]

We all have things that knock us off our game. Many of us deal with creative slumps or things that keep us from being productive. Even so, I believe those times can manifest into positive happenings. Recently I have been dealing with injuries to both arms that have limited my photographing and time on the computer (among other things!). I knew I needed to keep creating new work, but wasn't sure what to do. I then decided to explore design a bit since I couldn't photograph new art. The resulting art has made me so happy and opened up new doors of positive energy and creativity! Each piece has been given a positive descriptor since it is how I was feeling when creating! Several people who saw this new work mentioned that it felt to them reminiscent of the work of Gustav Klimt, an Austrian painter who created popular works in the early 1900s. He was heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau Style as well as the Arts and Crafts Movement - both of which have also been influences in my photography! I feel that this has been a great opportunity for exploration of new styles and creative works for myself. I hope you enjoy this new direction! These works are currently available in my Society6 shop and are available on Samsung Galaxy cases, iPhone cases, iPod cases and on throw pillows. I'm also excited about the new tote bags available at Society6 that are washable and feature artwork on both sides! See them below. And there is FREE SHIPPING until Midnight Sunday October 27, 2013. Holiday gift giving and holiday shopping are right around the corner!
