Papermaking

Other Interests
2008-09-27

I am also interested in digital photography. Altering existing photos as well as creating original digital artwork is a lot of fun.

This photo shows some of my family members. I have digitally altered a regular SLR negative so that my picture appears on my grandson's t-shirt.

My other grandson was not in the original picture so I added him to the group.

In the original photo, my grandaughter on the far left had her eyes tightly closed so I altered that part of the picture as well.

A Little Bio

Upon retirement in 1998 after teaching in Winnipeg elementary schools for 31 years, I continued my lifelong interest in art forms by studying Fine Arts full time at The University of Manitoba.

In 2004, I received a BFA(hons) degree at the U of M after studying Art History, Printmaking, Ceramics and double majoring in Drawing and Photography. A thesis in Photography completed my degree requirements.

Presently I have four areas of interest.

1. Fine art photography images, which are mostly organic in nature.

2. Acrylic or mixed media paintings. Palette knives as well as found objects and brushes are used to apply paint and to outline passages. My work in this area is an exploration of, color, texture,line and form, which suggests a personal interchange between artist and materials rather than a particular record of a certain image

3 Digital art, which is an outcome of my interest in computers.

4. Papermaking, which often provides a surface for acrylic paintings.
