Innocence and Hazy Whispers Ed. 5 of 21

TOP 6 finalist for the 2022 Canon Clique Awards! (adjusted image 'Megalopolitan Takeover')
Clique on the Walls Photography exhibition | Woolloongabba Art Gallery | 13th to 17th June 2023

I was inspired by vivid, vibrant colours and imagery, guided by an admiration for the great surrealists to create a new world. This busy, colourful dreamlike tableaux using modern photographic methods, continues the surrealist tradition of unexpected and illogical juxtapositions.
Bringing a fantastical vision to life through digital techniques, the final piece was created over 5 months with over 100 layers; every image added, photographed by me with a combination of single shot and ICM images.
The story you take from it, is your own. It was a fun piece to work on with many small details.
Printed in its A1 size where detail is fabulous, I simply hope to make you look, and then look again, to see something different, something new, something to brighten up your day.

'The Nomadic Creative'

Hi, I’m Ann - a designer from the vibrant 80s who rediscovered her creative spark in 2020. I dusted off the art smocks, studied Visual Arts, and soon completed diplomas in Photography and Holistic Creative Therapy.

My work blends a carefully curated mix of photography genres - long exposures, architecture, intentional camera movements (ICM), and digital artistry that invites you to create your own story through each image. You’ll find my evolving portfolio on my website OpenroadFootprint and here on Bluethumb.

A lifelong traveller, I chase inspiration across Australia and beyond with my Canon 7D and trusty Toyota campervan. Each road leads to new wonders I capture and share, believing travel fuels creativity and enriches our perspective.

If my works spark something for you, supporting a visual artist helps keep the vision alive – and brings beauty and vibrancy to your own space. I genuinely appreciate your support.

With gratitude and a heart full of art,❤️
Ann
