Thank you so much for this honor, jurors and team!

A historical photo of a mild-looking married couple in an antique gold frame shows the truth about what happens in secret at home where no one can see: he, a musician, holds a tuning fork. Her mouth is taped shut and her hands are bound by a pair of matching wedding bands. In her hand is a diptych photo of a disembodied woman's nude torso on one side and a pair of disembodied female hands shackled by matching wedding bands on the other. In the foreground of the entire image is an overlay of the man's face, contorted with violent rage. A list of the names of the artists whose works were selected. Bridgett Crocker Emerson, this artist, is highlighted. A graphic announcing the online juried art exhibition at actlocle.org

Summer's Sunday

"August is like the Sunday of Summer."

Purchased on the last weekend of August, this beautiful bouquet in memory of my mom was made by Sarah at Heitage Lane Farm.

I currently have 2 pieces in the 49th juried exhibition at the Fairmount Center for the Arts in Novelty, OH. The closing event is this Friday 6-8 PM

I did pop in to the preview that opened at 5 PM on August 4th. I arrived at 5:15 and both of my pieces were sold, but they remain on display.

Tone-Policing
Self Portrait

A little bit louder and a little bit worse."

White Lotus

This is the first year I'm growing lotus and I'm really enjoying it.🤍

I took this picture today.
A mystical white lotus in all stages appears suspended on a dark background surrounded by light leaks. Maiden, mother, and crone in bud, bloom, and seed pod.

This arrangement has only scabiosa and sunflowers in it. These flowers were from my friend Sarah.

I wanted to see if I could make something using only those and I wanted it to be weird. It was fun! I rather like it!

Spectacular tulips. The insides of the yellow ones are the same color as the outsides of the brown ones. They smell like sunlight.

Favorite Time of Day: After work. I love afternoon sunshine. It's also the natural light I prefer to shoot my indoor studio images.

Not altered in any way except for cropping.
