Proxima
Proxima is a lot like our world, with one exception—an event transpired that made it diverge from our world. It’s the Verse with technology at a level similar to our own, or in the very least developed parts, at a level in our recorded history. It’s the place where things that could have happened, but didn’t, actually happen. It’s full of romance and sadness, and great achievements and terrible loss. It’s full of wild places and cities, and horses and airplanes.
The most common magic there is found in the same places we find it—the laugh of a child, an unexpected kindness, the thrill of a new experience. Adventurers raiding for treasure among the ruins of long-lost civilizations, cases of mistaken identity with unexpected consequences, and alternate histories; these are some examples of the fabric of Proxima.
Photographic images are an art style that is quite common in this Verse. Proxima is a pretty cool place all in all, not without its trials and tribulations, but more often than not, what happens there happens for a reason.

Artist Statement:
This was a personal piece. This is a piece about becoming an adult. First, I wanted to invoke a feeling of the ocean, a sense of time moving backwards and forwards, like waves.
The main character is coming of age and starting to understand that she can no longer hide behind her teddy bear. Her arm being behind her as if she’s protecting the bear symbolizes her moment of strength to be responsible for herself. She’s wearing a mask, as we all do, as we age and find that we must start to conform to larger society regardless of one’s own life experience. It was always my intention to leave it to the viewer to decide which side of her face was the mask.

This image was originally created in May 2010 as a moment I captured with my very first digital camera, a Canon Powershot SD1800 7.1 Megapixel Camera, while spending time with my son in our garden. Subsequently, the image was published in the May 2016 issue of The Sun Magazine and was also chosen for a group exhibit in March of 2017 titled 'Honoring Female Utah Artist's' at the Adobe Building in Lehi, Utah where it was printed large format at 24" x 30".
Shadows & reflections are two aesthetics that draw me in when photographing. I think of reflections as the yang (bright) of light and shadows as the yin (dark). The former lets light shine through and the latter blocks it. The lines are blurred sometimes when a reflection is also a shadow and vice versa. As it is with life, most things aren't as they seem, and if they are, they can quickly change. The truth always changes, things are fluid, just like the light when taking photographs.

Artist Statement:
As a child, I was heavily influenced by two historical figures. One was the author Daniel Dafoe, whose literature I loved. The other was Alexander von Humboldt, a German naturalist and explorer of the eighteenth and nineteenth century, who traveled extensively in South America.
The idea of being cast away on a remote island always fascinated me. Would I want to find my way back to "civilization", or decide to stay where I am? I think I always leaned towards the later.
A wise person once told me "there is nothing wrong with being lost, it just means you're searching for something".
This piece is part of a three dimensional illustrated story for children.
