so i started this blog awhile ago in hopes of posting my art, finished and in the process of, along with general ideas and thoughts on life (because i tend to be an over analyzer). i however at the time started using it as a way of venting on personal matters. while i am still at a somewhat of a vulnerable state and a little lacking in my art making at the moment i really want to use this site the way i intended.
i think it will also be a good way to track not only my art but my growth as an individual. i feel the need to be a stronger person inside and outside of my relationship and i know the journey will be an insightful one.
the gist...
just a little general info. about me and where i'm at right now...
i am a super senior getting ready to graduate in less then a month! i will be graduating with a bfa concentrating in photography and a minor in psychology. while pursing photography has always been my passion and dream i always knew there was something else. all my art work tends to fall around the ideas of relationships. i'm very interested in the way people connect to and interact with one another. why we do what we do or think what we think. the combination of art and psychology has pointed me to being interested in possibly pursing art therapy one day. after graduation i think ill be focusing first on getting a job but maybe i'll go to grad school for art therapy one day. i had an amazing internship this summer in new york and the woman who i worked for has become a great mentor and friend. i hope to work with her more and grow from there. i also recently shot a wedding. not my favorite thing to do but the realization of starting to have to pay off college is right around the corner!
i leave you with the image above...
it's from the wedding i just shot and while it's not the strongest image from all the ones i took, it is my favorite. there is something about the colors and the warmth. about their connection to one another. the way they're caught in the moment, they're ability to laugh and be comfortable with one another. the way he's smiling at her and the way he's making her smile and laugh.
