About Me:
I have been involved with photography and art for many years. I had concentrated on nautical and outdoor themes for a long time, but a few years ago I discovered the miracle of digital photography, and soon became entranced with photographing flowers. From that, I began incorporating enhancement in my work , and since then I have been able to obtain some very creative and pleasing effects that render my "subjects" in a more artistic and painterly way. As the former owner of Thames Gallery in Newport, RI, it is essential to my spirit and being that I be surrounded with color and form, and this is my way of fulfilling this desire.

Perspective

"Photography, as we all know it, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world" ~ Arnold Newman.

Bit of a downer.

This rain has left me lamenting the fact that my favorite Peonies are already waterlogged and not worth photographing this year. I am so disappointed that I will have to wait again for next year unless I purchase some at the local flower shop.

My art blog

I have recently added a few items showing a sampling of things I am working on. Needless to say, I am doing a variety of things, working to add to inventory for the Etsy shop soon to go on line, and join with my daughter in contributing to her new shop too. The charms will be going in daughters site, my note cards,fine art/photo prints, tiles, postcards, canvas totes, and journals will be going into my new place. Check out my art blog at ~

"Blink"

Well, "Blink", my photo journal, is up and running at Blurb.com. If you got to Blurb.com, click on Bookstore, then Art & Photography on the right side bar. Click through 4 pages to get to the page where my book is displayed. New books are added so quickly, that your book moves out of the front two pages very pronto I just received a printed version of the 7"x7" format book, and I am especially pleased with the reproduction and overall look of the book. Unfortunately, with shipping the costs,… Continue

New on my horizon

Well, I have just completed my third photo journal book. Almost ready to send it to print. It's mainly for my own satisfaction to put to paper thoughts and images that have some meaning to me. It also shows a progression of my efforts that I can reflect on. I will let you know when I upload it to Blurb.com.

You will notice that I have posted some new Kaleidoscope photos. I find it very interesting from a design and illustration perspective doing these. The design variations are endless. Some wo… Continue

Boring?

I am always experimenting with my photos, and trying to find ways to make them more interesting. I guess I see the flowers, especially, as beautiful things that I can bring to a different level or place. This is hard for me to show to people, and I often think it is boring or tiresome to others to look at - maybe too repetitive. Ok in small doses, but not all the time? On to something different, maybe? Let me know what you think, anyone out there... Maybe I will post some of my abstract painting… Continue

Thanks for the comment on "Sunflowers and Poppies' ... Your work is super stuff! I like your eye for balance and color contrasts. My little painting....and I had to go look for it! thought it was at the gallery.........but it is here....
image 5x7/ framed in arts/crafts gold to make it 10x12..... just meant to be a little statement of "cheer." I generally don't do florals....it's maybe one of FOUR in a lifetime!!!!

Bermuda is one of those places you just never want to come back from. The early morning walks as the island was waking up were the best....David

Thanks for your comments.
Your work is beautiful. I especially like the liquidy, painterly, dreamlike quality. They really capture the fragility of the flowers. They're photographs?
what size are they?

I am not sure how to use this website, but here goes.

Hey Fay---I just posted an Event I think you'd be AMAZING for, a Digital Art Show in L.A.....you can check out the event, visit the wesbite and see the prospectus; your work is just poetry, pure romantic poetry and I think you'd be perfect for this show, hoping I can convince you to enter!! More people need to be soothed and delighted by your work !
Warmly: Susi
