Off Road Female

Off Road Female

Wanting to see what it would look like to combine my sketches of symbols and landscapes to figures I had a great time coming up with my off road woman. More about it can be seen on my blog and this version of the newz.

Identity Theft

Identity Theft

I had lots of partial ideas of loss of identity, a thumb print, symbols, a woman's outline and created some complicated composite that I didn't like. I scratched it and began again thinking of a simple way to say what was inside. I came up with Identity Theft.

All Terrain Female

All Terrain Female

After drawing symbolic landscapes in colored pencils on paper I digitally applied the curves and contours to the female form to see how they fit together.

Woman Encrypted

This goes with the whole identity crisis - the layers made up of colors and symbols depicting the roles we wear each day making up the person. Over time our identity is lost or buried..

Double Vision

I love it when the image becomes a surprise. The camera is on a slow shutter speed and the model moves. This image won Honorbale Mention in Albuquerque Arts annual photography edition 2009.
