New Challenges and New Ideas
With every image that is captured it always leaves a lasting mark that people can hold onto for generations to come. Over the course of time, we have seen countless photographs and paintings that have always been redesigned and tweaked. In which it inspires artists to almost redesign it from their perspective and almost highlight it to entice viewers back to want to pay homage to the original pieces that we all know and love. Which transforms the art and photographs into something that is new, fun, and exciting. It is this sense of creativity and imagination that inspires me to do this with other peoples’ photographs and my own. I get a chance to see how they look from my perspective, and I get to express myself more by adding my own personal flare.

Shooting Underwater on an Indie Budget
Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of becoming an explorer like Jacques Cousteau. I studied environmental science for 3 years until I figured out that the part of diving that I liked was when I had a camera in my hands for documenting and educating the public, so I shifted my career back to videography, except this time I focused on underwater. I took the professional underwater cinematography course at Hydroflex with Pete Romano: ASC. In case you're not familiar with Pete Romano or Hydroflex, he basically re-engineered underwater housings and cameras back from the stone age to state of the art technology. Before the mid-80's, underwater housings were primitive, cumbersome and difficult to get good results with. His debut was with James Cameron working on The Abyss and the rest is history. If you see a major motion picture with underwater scenes, most likely it's Pete Romano donning the SCUBA gear and getting the underwater shots. I couldn't have had a better teacher.

An Artist's Evolution
I was one of those kids who came out as me. I knew I wanted to be an “artist” when I grew up since the time I was three. I wrote it down in my school project. I drew myself with an easel, palette, and beret and while the only of those things I use now is the beret I’d say my baby self would be proud of me for what I do today. I am a mixed media artist & tarot reader ~ your regular sideshow attraction. I am a person of many names and even more games. I love to imagine, create, and realize.

Zigzag
The first time I used a pair of Fiskars I was four years old. It was an orange handled set of pinking shears and when I held those blades in my hands, it felt pretty magical. The urge to cut and create was overwhelming, where should I start? Haircuts for Barbie and me, of course. I dragged the full-length mirror from the bathroom into my closet and snipped away discreetly. After each chunk of blonde fell to the carpet I whispered “Perfect”. The excitement quickly transitioned into disappointment when I did my big reveal; to say my mother wasn’t pleased would be an understatement. It may have been the first time I saw her cry, actually. From that point on the pair of zigzag scissors became contraband, and she made sure to hide them from us children in every apartment we lived in. Or so she thought, because I was continuously sneaking into their drawers and pulling them out when I felt inspired or a bit naughty.

Putting Away My Photography
Just the thought of snapping an exceptional photograph at the click of the shutter button while holding the firm leatherette grip at the same time and holding the barrel of the lens attached with my left give me nothin’ but pure joy, the time stops for a moment as my mind that normally, habitually acts like a “rottweiler” starts to calm down escaping to its solitary cave while I’m left to just soak in the present moment.

Photoshop Thoughts
There it was. Melting into spring. The half-frozen world from the tiny window in my parent's basement. Truly the ugliest time of the year, or what I call it, hybrid spring. Or hybrid winter. Depending on how you look at it. Either way, I didn't want to be here. I wanted to be back in Australia.

Rock. Paper. Scissors.
The original inspiration for my artwork series: Rock. Paper. Scissors. are the intricate Chinese paper cuts that my mother would create during Chinese new year called chuāng huā. As a child I would watch her meticulously cut traditional Chinese designs using her tiny pair of scissors. She would make designs including zodiac animals, flowers and Chinese characters arranged within a highly patterned background. These intricate paper cuts would be hung in the window to catch the sunlight and create beautiful dappled shadow patterns. Throughout history, many different cultures have their own version of paper cut folk art customs similar to this such as papel picado in Mexico or scherenschnitt in Germany & Switzerland. I wanted to create patterns of my own like my mother created but with organic and natural shapes that I am familiar with in my contemporary life.
