The accepted work of art is Breakpoint at Racepoint.

This image was taken in October 2022 in Massachusetts as I was blessed with another exhibition there and had the ability to explore this beautiful state.  I will be going back this October again to explore more areas and even New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest.

Below is a quote that fit this work of art.

Dance with the waves, move with the sea.  Let the rhythm of the water set your soul free. – Christy Ann Martine.  I spend hours sitting on the sand becoming one with my surroundings listening to the sounds and watching the constant everchanging waves crashing the shore helping me recharge my soul.  It’s nature’s symphony that warms my heart.

UPDATE Forest of Birch photozaics

Published

SMALL FORMAL PHOTOZAIC AND COMMANDO SOLD OVER THE WEEKEND. But don’t worry I reordered the commando print and will be making another one and holding off on the formal photoziacs until I receive a direct request.  Over the weekend it was unanimous, the crowd loved the commando line, and I can’t get these done quickly enough. Love problems like this one… stay tuned for new works.

My work is mixed media joining together my two loves of photography and mosaics that I call Photozaics.  Just recently I experimented with matte-less print as has been suggested in the past, but this time I listened to Emily Schiffer’s suggestion from a recent portfolio review, and this is the result.  This line of photozaics, which I’m calling commando-as for me is liberating to see my photo dancing in sync with the frame.

Four of my Commando photozaics were accepted into Works of Excellence exhibition at The Studio Door gallery.  Wolf n Bear will be physically in the gallery; Gateway to Racepoint beach will be on their website and Breakpoint at Racepoint and Forest of Birch will be included in the catalog.   Honored and humbled to not have just one accepted but four works accepted into this exhibition.

Wolf n Bear

Some people come into our lives and quickly go, some stay for a while, leaving footprints on our hearts and we are never the same- by Flavia Weedn.  This image reminds me of the ones that left their footprints on my soul.

Gateway to Racepoint Beach

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.

Breakpoint at Racepoint Beach

Dance with the waves, move with the sea.  Let the rhythm of the water set your soul free. – Christy Ann Martine.  Sitting at the ocean’s beach I spend hours just zoning out to the sounds and everchanging views of waves crashing the shore to help recharge my soul.  It’s nature’s symphony that warms my heart.

Forest of Birch

SOLD!!!

“In Celtic Mythology the silver birch tree is sacred and symbolizes new beginnings and protection.”  This quote speaks to me and helping me understand why I love Birch trees and my Irish Heritage.  This image was taken at Jay Cooke State Park in February 2012 just a few months before this region received an unpreceded amount of rain in a 24-hour period; forever changing the landscape of this park forever.

artist statement

I create multi-sensory wall art that engages your curiosity of what lies beyond; what you see is personal to you.  Creating art for me helps me connect with you, exhibiting my ability to make you feel like you are there with me. They inspire you to desire to touch my art, making you try to view it and feel it at the same time.
