Tuesday is artist appreciation day & today it’s all about the work of Juliet R. Harrison, another artist I found via Twitter.
Artist of the Week
Todays artist doesn’t use a paintbrush or a pencil, she uses a camera to create her art. Her photography is unique and her eye for perspective is superb. She is an indiscriminate lover of all horses and appreciates the vast differences (and angles) the horse world has to offer.
Keeping Up With Juliet
Be sure to visit her website at www.lechevalthehorse.com & subscribe to her blog at www.lechevalthehorse.blogspot.com to see her latest stuff & you can always find Juliet on Twitter to keep up with her work. Here are some quick quotes & my favorite images from her interview, you can read the whole interview here.
“I believe the photographer creates the image, not the camera. I work in B&W film that I print myself on Gelatin Silver paper in my basement darkroom. Very much a hand worked art form for me. Old school and very satisfying.”
“I always remember having a camera with me. I think my parents thought it was right that a child should be able to document their life”
“My work is mostly self-generated, so I just go to all the equine events and barns that I can to get my shots. I would love to travel the world this way. Camera in hand.”
“I love that I have colleagues now around the world. And collectors that would never have seem my work otherwise…For an emerging artist, we suddenly have the wherewithal to market our work ourselves. This is tremendous.”
Enjoying the Artists
Hope you enjoyed this artist re-visit & that you’ll check out Juliet’s full interview to learn more about her & her work. Stay tuned because next week we’ll be re-visiting an interview with horse artist Kelli Swan.
