Life Energy Joy
Humans celebrate their entire cycle of life with flowers. We give blooms of all shapes and colors to acknowledge new life, friendships, love, and remember those we have lost. A walk through the garden can spark memories spanning one’s lifetime. Georgia O’Keeffe said “when you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else”. Though the use of a macro lens, we find a world inside of a world. An abstraction of the flower expresses form, texture, and the indisputable energies given through color. Life Energy Joy is a photographic journey presented in encaustics that explores a universe that is not easily seen with the human eye and pays homage to those we love.
Libby’s Bio: I recently graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where I earned a MFA in photography. An intense love for color, deep-seeded roots in rural landscapes of the South, and natural nocturnal tendencies fueled an interest in nighttime photography. My search for nighttime scenes for my thesis work brought me to the mountains of Western North Carolina. I currently reside in Asheville. My interests in nighttime landscapes has temporarily waned and I’ve found a true passion for portraiture. I find satisfaction in capturing emotional qualities in the people that I photograph. Whether I’m shooting live music, promotional imagery, head shots, or conceptually driven photographs, I feel it is important for the viewer to connect with the subject in an emotional capacity. I currently have several fine art portrait projects under way that fuel my desire to meet beautifully fascinating people – and I’m truly honored to be able to share their stories through my images.
