Kareen, the winner of Passports on Parade, decided on the artwork she wanted, and I’m blessed to announce it was one of my works, a Formal photozaic Titled Gateway to Racepoint Beach.
The back story on Passports on Parade can be found here:
Gateway can offer up an over welcoming feeling of “come on in”. This scene offers that feeling with a side of warning to those that don’t pay attention to their environment. I don’t mind the locals and will respect their home. If I’m not meant to be in the ocean I will sit quietly on the shore watching a movie of waves play on repeat for my pleasure.
I’m blessed to announce I’m officially renting studio space at Solar Arts Building, second-floor studio #205. I share this space with 3 other artists, and I am happy to have a home here at Solar!
This year I’m participating in Passports on Parade this weekend too! Check out the website for more details and how to get your passport- there is a limited amount so do not hesitate.
I call it a scavenger hunt for artists’ stamps in the passport. Why do this? Opportunities to learn about the artist and their visions, see great art, and win $500.00 credit to spend on ACW artwork! I know, AWESOME!
Side note:
My stamp is CheeBah approved! Who doesn’t love a Corgi??
Below are some samples you will see this weekend.

The location I will have a mixture of my formal and commando series photozaics and hope to demonstrate my artistic creations that weekend.- stay tuned for updates on my selection of artwork for Art A Whirl.
I will be on the 3rd floor with many other artists selling my Art.
I create multi-sensory wall art that engages your curiosity of what lies beyond; what you see is personal to you. Creating art helps me connect with you, exhibiting my ability to make you feel like you are there with me. They inspire your desire to touch my art, so you can view and feel it at the same time. My surroundings play a big role in my photography story. When I’m out in nature with my camera, it’s through texture, lines, colors, etc., that I get my inspiration. I primarily use color images to capture the vibrancy of Mother Nature’s glory, but when the mood and setting are just right, I will photograph in infrared. This style of photography brings another worldly look, almost a dreamlike state that has a 3D effect.
My photozaics are a perfect mixture of Van Gogh meets Ansel Adams and Bob Ross. My technique is a labor-intensive process and starts out with my journey into nature; capturing the images that I will make into a photozaic. With print in hand, I head to the local stain glass store, making sure to color match glass to the image. All glass cutting is done by hand, smaller pieces are tumbled with larger pieces and sanded by hand before assembling into the finished work.
Come on out and see what new works of art I have and along with that I’m selling infrared matted prints and offering them in simple elegant black frames, and photo cards.
