Snow Drop”explores the story of what is now more commonly known as Snow White, but in this collection, I have gone back to the original fairy tale entitled “Snow Drop” from the Grimm’s Tales
My vision and concept was to show Snow Drop while she was rendered unconscious by the Peasant’s wife (the Queen incognito) who poisoned her. I portray her state of mind and awareness of her situation as she has, again, found herself in.
In “the Witching Hour” she is in the midst of unconsciousness and experiencing somewhat of an out-of-body experience, floating above the forest where she had been poisoned.. In “Lucid Descent”, this is her consciousness during the same moment, knowing that she had been poisoned, and is portrayed submerged under the surface of the creek running through the forest (the water symbolizing the barrier of her consciousness) as she sinks deeper into her mental darkness, yet more awake and aware than she has ever been within her mind.
RISING TIDE

This image serves as a reminder to all of us about the important things that Earth Day stands for and it evokes thoughts from those who view it for it’s many implications about our actions today and how it affects the world and children of our future.
We as habitants of this planet are taking better care of our responsibilities to our home, but more can always be done, and more should be done to preserve the health of our Mother Earth..
Do we continue to make waves for positive change in the world, or do we allow our children to drown in the “Rising Tide”?
RUSH
*
After time passes and one’s soul has endured the consuming effects of being numb, having been hurt or forgotten, and faded away… something or someone manages to move your senses and compels you to awakening.
That uncontrollable rush of blood that escapes from your heart,
a deep inspiration,
acceptance,
forgiveness or gentle hands of a lover…
..slowly thawing and waking up every part of you,
setting the butterflies free….
