About Me
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. ... Albert Einstein
I'm a creative. I don't know how to be anything else. Everything I see, hear, smell is fuel for my muse. I've had several careers, but was never content until I found my niche.
Now, I run a home-based studio, FyreWork Designs where I freelance as a photographer, writer and designer. I wear many hats, but love what I do. I enjoy working in variety of artistic venues: digital alchemy, multi-media as well as mixed media. I often use my photography as a springboard to create fanciful images.
You'll find variety here, complete with comments as the muse sees fit. You've been warned ;-)
Oh, and in case you didn't know ... I'm a cancer survivor. Every day I wake up, I've survived!

Stand Up ... Believe ... Hope!!
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.
.... Charles Dickens
I have not posted for quite some time. I've been busy trying to get well again. I have cancer. I have been living with this disease for over nine years now. Most of the time, I am okay, but the beast is always lurking. After watching Stand Up For Cancer, I thought I would begin sharing my journey.
Through all the trials and tribulations, I have had some key people by my side. However, like a very good friend and mentor once told me, it's amazing to watch who will support you and who will simply walk away. People you thought would never let you down are the very ones that deal the worst blow. Yet there have been wonderful people who have come into my life that have made all the difference. To them my gratitude is endless.
I thought I'd start by posting a piece I designed when I first was diagnosed. I donated one of these prints to the chemo room where I've spent many long hours. My hope is that it inspires others to believe and hope!
I am a mother, a friend, a writer, an artist ... a survivor. Please, take a moment to help someone find the hope they need to beat this disease. Together, we can ALL Stand Up To Cancer!

Inspiration
“The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.”

Goin' to the Chapel ...
This is a quaint little heritage church which is often used for weddings in the summer. It's bordered by fields on both sides and mountains in the background, although you can't see them in this picture. Makes for some lovely photos.
I just like the feeling of walking back in time when I drive past and wonder at the generations that have walked through those doors.

A Poem as Lovely as a Tree ...

I've always loved working with special effects in the darkroom. Photoshop is my new darkroom and I love experimenting. This is a variation on an infrared technique. I hope you like it.
