Visual Language Magazine Featured Artists this month delve into the beauty of each of the five different photgraphers and their unique approach to creativity. Lisa McKinney finds her artistic inspiration comes from nature, as well as quiet days spent in her studio in the mountains overlooking the rugged, rocky Oregon Coast. Ray Maines eye tends to see images which are abstract or which can be abstracted through the digital process. Denise Bossarte practices photography where a synchronization of the eye and the mind is cultivated and the artist is mindful of the present moment without judging, reflecting or thinking, without overtaking the moment with their agendas. David Blow’s current work focuses on nature as a source of inspiration and enlightment. Clayton Gardinier works predominately as a landscape and nature photographer but does a little abstract work as well. Clayton’s preferred medium is black and white; although, he does some color work when it is appropriate.
