School

"The Pthalo Range"
An abstract image of an orchid

I have finally finished up school and last week graduated from The Academy of Art University. I now have my Masters in Fine Art Photography!

Since I have finally finished up I have had a chance to update my website to include all of my final images in one location. "Intimate Abstractions" have been broken up in to two pages. Page one is my final 18 images and page two is other images that I have created while at the Academy.

Alexander Black

I discovered a new photographer today who photographs flowers. Alexander Black photographs flowers both abstractly as well as just details of the flower. I really enjoy finding other people who look at flowers in an abstract way. The way that I look at flowers is so different than most people and it is great to see your same type of work coming from someone else. Check out his site!

Website

I have updated my website (www.annachipman.com) to have a few of my self portraits. I really wanted to add the other type of work that I have been creating and just chose a few of the project that I have been working on.

Gelato Clouds

My newest image Gelato Clouds is a calla lily.

I know I have mentioned before how interesting I find that calla lily but I am amazed how many twists and turns a flower can have. This image reminds me of a nice scoop of gelato. Amazing how a flower can make you hungry.

New Book

I have been searching for books that will help me on my journey towards becoming a professional artist. I am trying to understand how to go about finding the places to submit my art as well as how to send off the packets to different galleries with all of the proper information. I have found a great book that was recommended to me called "Taking the Leap: Building a Career as a Visual Artist" by Cay Lang. This book is amazing and she goes over all of the things that I mentioned above. This is an excellent book for any fine art artist trying to break into the market and do it in the correct way...as far as sending out the proper materials and such. I would highly recommend this book!
