I don't know about any other photographers around here, but I get so frustrated that my photos never come out the way I see them on my computer screen.  Well I finally wised up today.  I figured there has to be a shop that has information on what profiles they use to print from.  The local shop I go to of course didn't on their website, so I went to another photo place I shop from a lot that's based out of NYC.  Adorama is the name of this place.  I get a lot of my supplies from them.  Anyway, they had information  on what color profile to set my display to and a downloadable color profile to use specific to their printing.  HOPEFULLY my prints will come out just as I see them on my screen.  That would be absolutely fantastic.  Learning as you go kind of sucks.

I got an email back from the Hygienic about the F-stops Here show.  My two prints weren't accepted.  *sniff* *sniff* Oh well...  Better luck next year.  When I dropped off my prints, there was a flyer for the same type of show at the Norwich Art Center in April.  It was 5 dollars more a piece, but I'm going to do it anyways.   I still haven't made it down to the Norwich Art Center.  I need to do that to get the scoop on what the rental space is like and about being a member and such.  Kind of bummed about not getting into the show, but that's all a part of the deal I guess.  I'll get over it =0)

Today I am entering two photographs into the Hygienic's The F-stops Here juried photography show.  

"Throwing Rocks" 2011

"Miss Piggy Legs" 2004

Back at the end of January I entered another photograph to the Hygienic's Salon Des Independants.  There wasn't a jury for this show.  It's open to the public and anyone can enter just one piece.  It's a really fun community show.  Not as many people entered things this year, but still a decent turn out.  It's really great to see all the different styles and talents people around the area have.  Here's what I entered:

"Clinton Ave." 2011

I am so sad right now.  I am working on my A Day in Blankeyville series and wanted to create the day I spilt my Tinkerbell nail polish on my blankey.  Well wouldn't you know they are no where to be found.  No one is selling them on Ebay, people on forums said that Longs Pharmacy now sells it, but I cannot find it.  (CVS bought out Longs, but I still couldn't find it in a search.)  I think I might have to go with something that has the similar color and shape to the bottle.  Makes me sad though, I really wanted it to be authentic to my memory.  I'll post the picture when I've finished the shoot.

This is a piece I was commissioned to do for a client.  He really liked this print, but wanted color for his office.  I offered to paint the crayons for him and he really liked the idea.  The print is part of a series of photographs I've been working on called "A Day in Blankeyville."  2011/2012

This is a piece I was commissioned to do for a client for his wife.  It is a portrait of their three children.

2011/2012

This piece was done for the same client as above but for his daughter.  It is titled "Sunsets and Tea."

2011

All of these photographs are for sale on my Etsy store roxenashe.  They are all 5x7 prints matted in Crescent arctic white matteboard to fit an 8x10 frame.  They're $25.00 plus a $5.00 shipping fee.  If you would like a different size, I would be more than happy to make a custom print for you as well as matting it to the size you desire.  Thanks so much for looking!

Welcome!

Hi there, my name is Heather.  I am an artist who works from Norwich, CT.  For those who have no idea where this is in the USA it's located pretty much inbetween Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos.  I always think it's funny that people I meet know the casinos as landmarks but not the town I live in.  It's not that well known.  Although I've heard that at one time it was supposed to be our Nation's capital.  The Rose of New England is what Norwich is called.  I love how cities have catch phrases.  New Haven is The Elm City, Baltimore is Charm City, those are the only two that come to mind.  


Anyways, to get to the point here... My artwork is mainly created from my memories.  For instance one of my favorite series is my A Day in Blankieville series.  If you happen to go to my Etsy store you'll see a couple prints from that series.  I used to carry my baby blanket with me everywhere when I was little.  I think I carried it around until I was ten-twelve years old.  Maybe not in public as I got toward the end, but pretty much all the the time otherwise.  I made this series to recreate my memories with my baby blanket.  


I hope you enjoy my artwork.  If you descide you like my style let me know in a comment or a "like."  A critique would even be welcome, I don't get that many anymore now that I've been out of art school.  Just so you know, I do custom pieces as well.  If you have an idea of something you would like me to create, just let me know and we'll work something out.  Thanks for looking!
