last day of may… bring it on june!
goodbye may
hello june
this month was more than new beginnings… it was just simply gorgeous.
flawless.
So just recently I have purchased a new Canon lens- 24-70mm f/2.8, took a photo of my face, was disgusted with what I saw, was about to delete it off my camera, and then I accidently hit the zoom button- zoomed in so close I could SEE my skin.
I am fascinated by this texture. I can’t get over how disgusting it looks, yet I am in love with it. The saying, beauty is only skin deep, is true.
Yes, it is the little things that I find beautiful and worth exploring. More work will be coming soon!
steve walters’ screwball press chicago.
This news was passed along to me and I encourage everyone to try this out! My boyfriend and I are planning to once we get some sketches drawn out and floating- and I can’t wait!
For more information, click on the link below! I would also love to see your work if any of you do actually go!
the modern wing at the art institute of chicago.
I took advantage of the free admission to the museum last week, and am so glad I went! I only checked it out once, scrounged the museum a few times, and still feel like I haven’t seen it all! My plans are to go visit the museum sometime soon and drool over Joseph Cornell’s boxes again. *wink* It is truly unbelievable to stand in front of someone’s work- someone who was not only a successful artist, but someone who really wanted to be an artist- to make art, to share art, to understand art, and to teach art. It is hard to find people like that these days…
On top of that, I brought along a Canon PowerShotA95 and got in a few images! I filled the memory up pretty quick- so here are some amazing photographs of some amazing artwork. enjoy and be inspired!
Love, Sylvia

my first entry.
I just want to thank those who took the time to check out my work! I really appreciate it. I want to say that my site is currently being worked on, organized,and redefined-bear with me!!! As of right now, I have different groups of work posted. I have much more and am in the process of editing and choosing what is worth showing. 
A new site for my fashion editorial work is being worked on as well! Can’t wait to get that running!
Once again, thank you for checking my work out and I will leave you with updates on when this site is near completion!
On another note: to Tom Domenz and Tisha Ellis ( if you do read this)
Tom, it was so great seeing you and speaking with you briefly! I haven’t had the chance to stop by the school, but have plans to sometime by the end of this or next week. I wanted to tell you both that the work that I have produced at Columbia College Chicago has been inspired by and created because of you both. I cannot express how much you both have been an influence on my work and myself. If it wasn’t for you guys, and the art department that the highschool offered, I wouldn’t be who I am today and my work would not have this much meaning. I can’t wait to see you both again and show you how much you have helped me grow. Thank you so much, truly. And Congratulations to you both!
Love, Sylvia.
