I have been going strong on my summer hobby of crafting art pieces. (As you might recall from my previous posts featuring batch 1 and batch 2: I either use a photo I’ve shot as a base for a piece, or I use it as the visual inspiration.)

I love seeing artists develop and evolve. I think nowadays we most commonly see this process with actors and directors in cinema. (Because cinema is the art form we all most consume, besides music.) We will often see actors and directors in various films they make over the years, and through that progression, we can see how their style and technique transform over time.

Getting to see the process of how someone further enhances their art is one of my favorite things. I hope you enjoy that process here as I continue to share my work with you all.

Keep an eye on the Zine for future art works.

In 2020, I was in New York. (This was shortly before the covid era began) While there, I found out about the Museum of Ice Cream and was very intrigued. (The museum is one of those immersive experiences where you walk through various environments)

I ended up being able to achieve 3 different photoshoots there. 1 shoot with Ashlee Montague, 1 shoot with Sara Michelle Murawski (Sarafina) and 1 shoot with Anna McEvoy-Melo.

The designs of the rooms and the colors at the museum were just stunning and created very unique environments that we had a blast shooting in. The images are vibrant with lots of colors. Take your time looking through them; there’s a lot to take in.

Something I find interesting about these images is how much the personality of the dancer affects the feeling of the photograph/environment they’re in. You can see through the 3 different models from these shoots, that they all bring a unique energy to the space they occupy.
