Ordinary    L   I   F   E is a collection of  photographs captured by photographer, Diana Foster.  The pieces in this exhibition represent her view of everyday LIFE.   Document your journey with intention.  Lean over the edge and discover something momentous everyday!

“Being in the moment allows me to find the visual message in simple, everyday objects and events.  My hope is to invite viewers to explore the world around them with fresh perspective.”

Project 365! 

Published in Stampington & Company

There is a long history with Stampington & Company and me.  I ADORE their magazines!  Their inspiration to artists is profound.  The quality of their publications is unsurpased.  Volume 14 of Stamper's Sampler Catch Up Issue features 9 of my greeting cards.  I am thankful to Stampington for all the art they have published from The Studio 56 over the years. 

Here's to living inspired!

Faux Couture!

A collaborative vision about an urban location, texture, and rich background drove this recent photo shoot.  Emily Andrews, Owner and President of Faux Couture, and I new just the look we were desiring to create.  Images would grace her marketing materials and really needed to speak to who she was as an artist and a person.  View the images and then go check out Faux Couture!
