Winter this year was and is so far drab and ho-hum. Not much snow to speak of a lot of yucky greens and browns and grays. While these neutral earth tones can be nice to work with, this time around they are not. I miss the snow! So, I went through some of my older files from last year and discovered lots of snowy images. I remember capturing them and knowing that by themselves, the images were - meh - but I still kept shooting. I always follow my intuition even if my head says no because once I load them up in my software, I never know what I am going to find. I have fallen in love with composite images and half the fun is the challenge in finding what goes with what. When I am out in the field, I know they all go together somehow, like a puzzle- finding the pieces is like solving a mystery. This particular image speaks to me of underground worlds venting unto a mysterious landscape.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

Technic Photography

Photography refers to the combination of processes, techniques and materials that allow you to capture a subject in still images. Photograph also refers to the image that is obtained, whether it be phototype or not. This term can also be used to refer to the graphic arts branch that employs this technique.

BIOGRAPHY

Award-winning Michigan photographer Gwendolyn Roth has exhibited extensively locally and internationally. She is primarily self-taught.

Gwendolyn grew up in an art-inspired family, learning the basic principles of photography from her father and discovering how to see the real world from her mother. Gwendolyn attended Michigan State University, earning her undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture, subsequently practicing in that design field. Marriage and the arrival of her first child rekindled her passion for photography as she created a vast collection of family photos. Her husband's career took them to Europe for several years, where she amassed thousands more photographs of her family's time there - a self-imposed travel photography program, with husband and now two babies in tow! These experiences taught Gwendolyn to see and compose quickly.

Ultimately fulfilling her roles as wife and mother-of-three, photography answered Gwendolyn’s most vexing question ever: now what? She jumped back into photography, embracing the enlightening transition from film to digital and never looking back.

Gwendolyn’s work emphasizes fine art and healing art, but she will photograph anything that catches her eye. Uplifting and encouraging perspectives of everyday life inspire her creativity.

Total immersion in photography defines Gwendolyn’s role as an artist as she explores an endless evolution of technique and subject. She is especially fond of creating composites and digital abstracts to express her emotions as she discovers wonderment and joy with her camera.

She looks forward to a future filled with photography.
