Collection: Mary Louise Ravese
I make fine art nature, travel and creative photographs from locations across the globe. My favorite subject matter includes landscapes, nature close-ups, architectural details and abstracts. My photos are about intriguing juxtapositions of vibrant colors, contrasting tones, dynamic shapes, and unique textures. I create both color and black & white images. I take pride in personally processing my images in my digital darkroom to reflect my artistic vision.
I draw inspiration from a number of different art forms such as traditional Japanese block prints, to 1930s-era advertising posters, to painters like Georgia O’Keefe. My ambition is to incorporate the beauty of painting in the clarity of photography to make “painterly” looking photographs. I also enjoy expanding the context of my artwork to include the artwork’s presentation. For example, I like to use a combination of mat and frame color, texture and finish to enhance the beauty of my images, complementing and completing each piece of art and making it more than just a beautiful image. My signed, Limited Edition photographs are printed using archival methods and are available on a variety of materials including traditional silver halide based photographic paper, fine art paper, canvas, metal and wood.
