Kyle

I was looking through my files and here is one

of my son...one of my favorite humans.

Missing my days taking portraits and hoping that sooner than later,

I can take more work on again with health permitting.

June - The Awakening

"June - The Awakening" 2019

June has always been a month of reawakening for me.

Not only is it the month I began my existence in this lifetime,

I also see it as a month of starting over again...a time of reflection

and growth, as I gain another year of life, another year of experiences.

Looking forward to the journey as always. Life is ART.

Untitled Memory - A poem

I love going through some of my poems from years gone by.

This one in particular I wrote around 1991-92 and was

published in a local poetry book in 2010 called
Out Of The Warm Land.

I will, at some point, put my personal writings

and poetry to my visual creations. I have added my
written works to a
few creations in the past.

Untitled Memory

"Sitting in a state of confusion

Thoughts go through my head

Not knowing what is right

Not knowing what is wrong

The truth seems so far away

Mind over matter

Things clutter my brain

Memories

Knowledge

Feelings

Fill my head -

I don't want to remember you"

- Julie Nygaard

Beauty In The Beast

"Beauty In The Beast" 2019

Digital Photography Manipulation - Canon

I love how this came into being from a photograph of a rose in my garden.

"Creativity connects me to my truest self and vulnerability.

There is nothing more personally liberating than reaching for my face

and peeling of the social mask that hides my shadow self, pain and weakness.

When I produce from this place of truth, the results transform both

creator and beholder." - Jaeda DeWalt
