Green grass, garden sprouts, and seasonal allergies...Hello Spring!

So happy the snow has passed and Spring is finally here!  It's a beautiful sight outside to see my tulips popping through the dirt, the moss beginning to climb and the sprouts all through the garden.  I love this time of the year when everything is new again!  It's all about fresh starts and new goals, kind of like New Year's resolutions for me.  This is the time of year when I get energized and full of ideas.  The only drag is the sneezing, coughing and runny nose...oh my!  I am excited for all the new art I'm thinking of and the direction my photography will go.  I'm currently one of the featured artists at Art on the Levee in Newport, KY.  The exhibit is called "More Than Ink" and it's all about tattoo art.  It's hanging for the entire month of March so if you happen to be in the Cincinnat/Newport area, check it out.  There's a lot of cool stuff to see along with this show.  My exhibit is photography of tattoos on people I photographed at concerts, including crowd shots and band members.  One of my favorites is of Eric Bass from Shinedown.  I remember at that show I would get caught up in reading the phrases on his arms while looking through the lens and then have to be like, "Snap out of Angy, focus!!"  I had everything printed as metallic gallery wraps and metallic float wraps and they are gorgeous!  The colors look so amazing.  I probably will be doing more wraps in the future rather than framed prints...just gives it such a nice texture and looks great the way it hangs on your walls.

The studio is about to get a major overhaul, too, time for fresh paint and some new cabinets and chairs.  Since I'm there more now than I used to be I see a lot that needs to be changed...again, the whole Spring thing!  Oh, and just to clarify (I get asked this a lot) my studio is where I work and paint but it's not a photography studio.  I photograph strictly on location.  I'm ready for a busy season, hopefully a lot of fun sessions with the 2011 Seniors and some AMAZING concerts on deck.  I'm ready to get busy.  Can't wait to share all the upcoming fun with you all!  Happy Spring and as always, PEACE~LOVE~ART!
