ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Today we seem to live in an era of exhaustion and fatigue, caused by an incessant compulsion to make our lives ‘perfect’. Overwhelming times can make us feel as though we are in The Twilight Zone with no escape.

AUTHOR
Maureen Ravnik was born and raised in Minnesota. She attended the University of Colorado to pursue a career in sales & marketing. Working and traveling a lot in that discipline opened her eyes to the wonders of the natural world and reawakened childhood tendencies to creatively document her discoveries. Upon retirement, she began in earnest to pursue that dream.

My methods and techniques are largely self-taught. I am deeply inspired by the work of Ansel Adams and Art Wolfe. My work is also derived from my imagination which is ultimately a collection of a lifetime of experiences.

My greatest satisfaction comes from taking the file from camera to computer to develop composites. I choose not to use AI or digital painting. Instead, with the help of editing/processing software, my final work is either straight out of the camera or created using a blend of photographs. My fine art photography may reflect the use of 1-5 photos. The results reflect the soulful fingerprint that expresses my feelings about my subject matter. My work is delivered in an array of styles that arc between realism, passionately abstract and doggedly figurative.
