 X-Ray Flower 6 |
Elisa Johnson captures nature in a unique style all of her own. She has a Bachelors of Art in Photojournalism from Indiana University. She initially began pursuing her own photography capturing the Florida landscape, though she has spent the last five years working as a radiographer, RT(R), in the health field. It was during this period that she began photographing again and produced a series of x-ray flower photographs. Elisa capitalized on her enthusiasm for the digital computer environment by x-raying actual flowers and then scanning the x-ray film into her computer to create these one-of-a-kind photographs. |
 Inspiration |
Cookie Davis began drawing classes when she was seven. Throughout high school and college, she worked with charcoal, oil and pastels. Later, she had the good fortune to explore three dimensional work, which has led to her success as a sculptor. Ms. Davis has participated in both solo exhibitions and group shows throughout the South. Additionally, she has work in private and corporate collections both nationally and internationally. "My sculptures represent many facets of womanhood and ethnic backgrounds. They are black, brown, or white; they are the colors of the world. I create through their body language a message of dignity, hope, and love. I am often asked where I get my ideas, and the answer is . . . everywhere! Everyday people or events catch my attention and become an image and a ‘story.’ Nothing stays the same, everyday is an adventure, life is a kaleidoscope of happenings, and I find joy in telling stories through my art." |
