Elaine Hartley – Featured Artist
This weeks featured artist is Elaine Hartley. She has been collecting and photographing nature images with The Face for many years now. She does a wonderful job of showing that all you need nothing more then The Face, a lovely natural setting and a camera to create. These pieces are simply lovely. Thank you for sharing them Elaine.
Elaine in her own words…
The face has accompanied my journey for nearly 20 years. I purchased my first face at a bead show in Columbus Ohio. I had no plan. She spoke to me so strongly that I knew she would be a loyal and inspiring companion. She travels in my pocket until I hear her speaking to me. It is a relationship of pure bliss!
Indeed she has become my passion, placing her in nature and photographing her. During my healing journey with cancer these last 2 years she and my steadfast friend Opie (dog) have truly championed my recovery.
I am so grateful to Diane who created these faces from a connection so special and gifted. Thank you Diane!!! For me it is a spiritual connection that is best explained by seeing my pictures.
