PrintAh! 'Freshly' Photographic
Ferris Wheel, 8x10 fine art photograph. Artist's Note: "At a local fair in Toronto, a ride on this ferris wheel was a definite highlight for my 4-year-old son... his first! And, although the experience left me feeling slightly nauseated, this image tickles my tummy and represents a wonderful memory."
Deirdre Thornton
Deirdre Thornton of Toronto, Canada, has loved taking pictures since she was in University. "I am previously trained as an occupational therapist so I appreciate the value of meaningful and therapeutic activity, which is what taking pictures and creating photographic art is for me," she says.
Deirdre is largely self-taught, picking up photography tips here and there (she says she's so thankful for the many fabulous photography blogs) to develop what has blossomed into a personal style of fine art photography. The artist is a stay-at-home mom of two energetic young boys. "At this stage in life, we don't venture too far from home, so many times I look for inspiration literally in my own backyard! I love to incorporate bold, complementary colors in my images, but at the same time maintain that "light and airy" feel."
All of her prints are available in larger sizes up to 16x24 (12x12 for square prints). Visit her shop at www.etsy.com/shop/freshyphotoarts. Follow Deirdre on Twitter @FreshyPhotoArts.
Left: Fresh Strawberry, 4x4 fine art photograph. Yum! A fresh strawberry... a delightful find in the artist's backyard last summer that was bursting with color and flavor! How lovely would this be illuminating a corner in your kitchen?
Right: Fall Field Flowers, 8x10 fine art photograph. Autumn in Ontario is magnificent! The artist captured these fall field flowers in Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, about an hour north of Toronto, Canada. The result? A fine art print that would look amazing on any wall.
