Patricia Roshaven: Photographs and Paintings

Photo Collage Exhibit
Topic: About Me

Hello fellow artists,

If you will be near Jupiter, Florida, January or February 2008, please come to see

eleven of my photos on display at Florida Atlantic University's John D. MacArthur

Campus Library.

These photos explore the mystery that lies just beneath the surface of everyday life and can be better understood

by experiencing how they feel, rather than intellectually.

I was the director of the MacArthur Campus Library 1992-2004.  During that time I

was a full-time librarian and part-time artist.  Now I'm a full-time artist (photography and

water media) with a book habit.  Currently reading:  The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo and A

Modern History of Japan, by Andrew Gordon.

Print of the Year Award!
Topic: About Me

Hello fellow artists,

I've not written in quite some time, but I think it is time to start again. Good news -- last night I found that I had been awarded the Print of the Year Award from the Carolina Camera Club. I've been a member for about two years.

I was taking pictures early one foggy morning last summer and had been focusing on some flowers caught in spider webs. (See entry for Nov. 16, 2006, "Spider Web Morning.") I turned a few inches to my right and there was "Dragonfly." The lovely "Zebra" also won a First in the Portrait Division. All of the winning photos can be seen on the Camera Club's 2007 website.

About Me
Topic: About Me
Hello fellow artists,

I promised to tell you about different art styles, but I'm taking a blog entry to tell you about me. This week I won two firsts in the 2005/06 Carolina Camera Club judging. In the Closeup category, Flowering Maple won a first place.

A larger version can be seen in my Flowers and Trees photo album. A flowering maple is actually a potted plant with leaves that look like maple leaves. This heavenly plant sits on my back porch.

In the Humor category, Yak Snack won a first.

A larger version can be seen in my Animals photo album. The photo was taken at Hollywild Animal Park.

Icy Branch, which was taken just after our ice storm last December, won a third in the Nature category.

One of my favorites, Morning Walk As Seen Through a Sprinkler, received an honorable mention in the Nature category.

Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary.

Members of the camera club submit their best photos once/month from September to May. The photos with a score of 10 or more (15 is the highest, which I've not received so far), are then judged at the end of the year and the best in each category is chosen. At the June meeting, the best slide and photo of the year will be chosen out of the top winners. All winning photos will be on display at the Tryon Fine Arts Center for the summer months.

Joining a club which focuses on the art work of your choosing is a great way to meet fellow artists, to learn from those with more experience, and to bring your work in for critique. You may not always agree with the judges, but the process will make you think more about your work and will help you become more articulate about your work.

One more item about me: I will be selling my photographs and watercolors at the Saluda Arts Festival Saturday, May 20 (booth 8). Y'all come.
