Progressing Developments

The showcase at the Expo went very well. There were many people interested in the photography portfolio, a couple interested in graphic design and a few interested in pet paintings. Pet paintings were not really considered, but if it is important for someone to capture there furry little loved one, then so be it. A photograph on canvas will be delivered to the individual whose name was drawn out of seventy entries. Finally, I had the pleasure of meeting some really wonderful people.

An application was submitted for photography at a Fort Wayne art festival last week, the jury was held this past Saturday. The outcome for this submission should be announced on or around March 31st. Special event artwork will be created and available for the Beautiful Day Ladies Conference , to be held at New Life Christian Church and World Outreach on April 16th. Additionally, a solo exhibit will be held at the Brew’ Ha Coffee House in Columbia City on May 14th.

Photographs continue to be compiled and utilized to produce video montages for The Center and their event to be held next April. Most recently, a book cover was designed utilizing a photograph recently taken. The individual connected through the internet and the inspired communication that has taken place has been a blessing. Please let me know if you have thoughts or suggestions for future works or exhibits, I would love to hear from you.

Take Care,

Preparation & Projects

The past week has called for my attention to be focused elsewhere, to say the least. Creative projects have been on hold, while family took priority. However, a showcase of photography, photographic renditions, oil paintings, and graphic design is scheduled to take place at the Whitley County EXPOsed event, this Saturday March 19th, from 9:00am to 4:00pm. Feel free to stop by and ask any questions you may have, or share an idea you would like to see become a reality.

Progress continues to be made on The Center project. Invitation cards and flyers have been finalized and a few videos have been created for the various programs The Center offers for Whitely County Youth. Those videos may be viewed on Vimeo, and any feedback is appreciated. Additionally, it appears there may be another creative opportunity in the works; I will keep you posted as to the developments of those opportunities.

While painting has been on hold for a period, many photographs have been taken and landscape photos taken a few months ago have been refreshed and revitalized. Those photographs are available for your viewing pleasure under Works Recently Completed. I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to hopefully seeing or meeting some of you this weekend.

Take care,
Shanon
