Fine Art Photographer
"Inside-Outside Extended Series #03"
2007, Gold toned salt print, made from a hat box pinhole camera on Arches watercolor paper, 16x 20
Artist Statement: "I have come to find peace and spirit both in the practice of my art and in how it allows me to transform the very subjects I photograph beyond that which the eye may initially behold. I work within my immediate world: in my home, my garden, and in the woods nearby.
A driving force in the beauty that I see comes from the light that touches on my surroundings on its passage through the day. It is this light that I have to find, that fills me with awe. When light and subject work in unison, sometimes for just a moment, I am given a gateway to a keen awareness of life and especially of a connection to nature.
There is sheer wonder in the way photography allows me to discover and to create. In making my images I feel I am honoring the world I live in, and receiving back joy in doing so” --Dianna Rust

"Off Damariscove"
Oil on panel, 2006, 15x19
Artist Statement: "I often paint on location, but my work is increasingly less about rendering a scene, and more about borrowing abstract shapes in an effort to bring a sense of energy into my compositions. So whether I'm using oil colors on canvas or I'm working with black ink on white paper, its always about color/tones and energy.” --Chris Osgood
