Situational Awareness - How Writing About my Images Has Expanded My Vision
Thursday, May 22
6 - 7pm
Free, or suggested $10 donation
As an artist, growing and expanding my vision reflects in all phases of my life.
I have always enjoyed writing as a personal vehicle for recording thoughts and events. Those I have travelled with have witnessed my devotion to morning journaling (a habit generated by ‘The Artist’s Way), a ritual I have engaged in for over 20 years.
I have recently begun to keep a photography journal. Feedback outside of likes on social media is very hard to come by. As I write critically about my images, ideas and consistencies flow and I find myself expanding creatively. In practicing expanded awareness that springs from my writing, an opening of insight grows.
There is the moment that time stops for the shutter, and then there is the time what I reflect on the experience during the editing phase of my workflow.
Join me as I discuss my photo journaling strategies and how my images have evolved as a result.
About the speaker: Cindy Horovitz Wilson, a resident of Wickford Rhode Island, has been making photographs of Rhode Island since 1976. She chooses her native turf as subject for her fine art images. Among them, windswept landscapes and moody seascapes serve as rugged backdrops for quiet studies of architecture contemplated in unexpected perspectives.
She earned her BA from the University of Rhode Island in 1978, studied at RISD & the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and received her Masters of Fine Art from Tyler School of Art of Temple University in 1984.
Cindy developed an independent wedding and portrait photography business, and for 20 years earned an admirable reputation for her candid, unobtrusive professional approach.
Cindy's has memberships in many art associations, most recently the Providence Center for Photographic Arts, Art League of Rhode Island, Mystic Art Museum of Art, 19 on Paper, the Newport Photo Guild, & South County Art Association. She continues her active affiliation with the Wickford Art Association where she served on the board for 10 years (with two as president). Cindy has had regular exhibitions of her fine art photography, as well as winning awards in juried shows.
Cindy enjoys showing yearly at the Wickford Art Festival, as well as West Bay Open Studios, where interaction with interested art lovers gives the opportunity for discussion about her work. From 2003 to 2006, she co-founded and established Wilson Scott Galleries of Wickford Rhode Island. At Wilson Scott, she continued in the direction of establishing herself as a well respected fine art photographer.
Together with Eileen McCarney Muldoon, Cindy established Profundo Journeys Photography Workshops. They teach classes on local and international levels. Their 2009 trip to the South of Italy has been followed by Greece, Hungary, Cuba, Vietnam & Cambodia, Ireland & Peru. A return to Cuba, the Czech Republic, Cinque Terra and Portugal are planned for the future. The path of travel, photography and teaching is the direction Cindy has always been working towards.
