Thing 6

Create a post on your blog about one of the photos you downloaded. Why did you choose a particular photo? What is it about the photo that you found interesting?

I chose this artist's intricate cut work because it represents my passion for detail in my own work.

Art has always been an interest of mine.  I have been blessed with not only talent, but a passion for the creative process.  This may sound bold of me, but behind this boldness there has been many years of finding myself.  Although God blessed me with an admirable talent, He led me on a 30 year journey to discover my medium. 

Painting, ceramics, drawing, computer art-you name it, I took a class on it.  I had always loved working with paper, but had thought that paper construction was not considered a respectable medium for fine artists.   It wasn't until last year that I finally discovered my medium of choice.

I guess you could say that "I heart paper cut art"  I love cutting out fine details and layering the images. Paper options are endless--printed, textured, weight.  I have blended my skills as an illustrator along with this passion to create "cute" (yes I said cute Professor Haggerty) dioramas for children's rooms.

P.S. Downloading this image was a piece of cake.  I plan on uploading my own work to build a portfolio.
