Rust Is Beautiful

7/20/2017

Tangier Island in Virginia may be one of the most memorable places I have ever visited. I spent two days on a sailboat in the local marina and got to stroll through the streets and visit the beach on an island where time seems to have stopped. Interestingly, one of the most intriguing spots on the island was the marina itself as it had all of these metal pilings covered in rust. And we all know, rust is beautiful. Not convenient but truly beautiful. I glued myself to one of these pilings and took photo after another capturing the stunning patterns and textures created over time. Don't all of the photos below look like outstanding pieces of abstract art?

    I love to capture the beauty of the world around us in my photos. I enjoy colors, textures, and patterns. Macros are my favorite point of view. 

    I often use photos as elements in my textile designs. But mostly, I just love pushing the button on my camera and savoring a moment in my life and freezing it for eternity. 

    All photos are available for purchase. Contact me if you would like to make any of these memorable moments part of your home.
