Nature and landscape photography communicates with a person’s soul and it helps us connect with the world around us. Both landscape and nature photographs can reflect an impressive array of memories and emotions, happiness and sorrows, love and hate, truth and fables. But is can also teach people and inspire greatness within us. However, art and photography does so much more; it’s a creative experience which explores the mysterious, the sublime, the unexpected, the often obscure and otherworldly, bringing fleeting moments of profound meaning into frozen moments of time; a moment that would otherwise have been invisible to us. Featured artist is national and international award winning nature and landscape photographer Melissa Fague. We are opening door to other artists in 2016. If you would like to submit work for consideration, please contact us via email at: [email protected]. About Melissa ______________________________________________________________________________ Melissa Fague has always had an appreciation and passion for visual arts or visual storytelling but her career in photographic art did not start until 2009. In 2009 Melissa was involved in a traumatic car accident and endured multiple spinal surgeries; she was laid up of almost 19 months. During that time Melissa chose to learn as much as she could about photography through the Internet and through the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online division. As Melissa healed and her strength grew, so did the passion and the curiosity for the art of photography. Even though most photographers have a specific style, Melissa finds something interesting and compelling about each field of photography and continuously explores them all. However, Melissa’s love for the outdoor always takes her back to the calming aspects of nature and landscape photography. In 2011, Melissa established PI Photography and Fine Art and in October of 2013 Melissa received her degree in Digital Photography for the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. With visual storytelling, Melissa discovered that there is huge potential to express a more creative and personal vision on (to some individuals) ordinary subjects that are normally passed by without a second thought. Focusing her attention on Delaware allows Melissa to discover not only beautiful landscapes that Delaware offers but the chance to invoke mood and character of the region she lives in. to read more visit pipafineart.com.
