Hey! Thanks for visiting. As of now I am just a beginner in the blog scene. Actually I have been blogging for quite some time but on hosting sites and my blogs were always strictly for personal use. I suppose in a way this blog is as well, however I hope to maintain a professional atmosphere where my art and photography can be displayed.

I have been an artist since I new how to pick up a crayon. As the years went by I continued to develop my talents. I don’t classify myself in terms of being a beginner, amateur, pro or whatever other labels are out there. My personal philosophy is: “Art is who I am, not what I do.”

Duane Michals is my single most admired photographer. Self taught and always stepping outside the box. I admire not only his photography but thoughts and literature as well.

“Photographers tend not to photograph what they can’t see, which is the very reason one should try to attempt it. Otherwise we’re going to go on forever just photographing more faces and more rooms and more places. Photography has to transcend description. It has to go beyond description to bring insight into the subject, or reveal the subject, not as it looks, but how does it feel?” -Duane Michals

This is one of my all time favorite works of his.

A lot of what I do is strictly for myself. Its my way of breathing, feeling, letting go and setting myself free. Its my expression. The way I chose to make myself known in the deepest respect.

However I am willing and able to provide services of creating, experiencing and documenting. If you have an event you wish to remember, or perhaps you have a favorite place you would like to share I can help you accomplish this. I up for all things, be it creating a single piece of art to capture an essence or a series of photographs to tell your story. I am willing to work with your budget and your ideas. I do however feel as an artists I am entitled to use some of my own creativity in any project I am involved in.

As a final note, thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy your visit!

-Sarah Jane
