Abstracts Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Laria Saunders Los Angeles, California New Papillon Fine Art Photography Artist Statement I come from an all artist family going back four generations on both sides and have a BA from UCLA -World Arts & Culture. This approach to abstract photography takes the material world components and spontaneously combines them into an array of color, texture, light and form. It can be likened to a snapshot performance or hitsuzendo painting rather than a permanently constructed artistic statement. If the images had words they would be strung together like poetry or rap in a spray of fleeting glimpses.Read More →
