My Fuji Emulsion Lift Collages Illustrate an Article in Highline Magazine's Winter Issue

Highline Magazine Winter 2011

I have been working a lot with Fuji emulsion lifts lately. Most of what I have done has been for publication. I was thrilled when Kristy Davison, Publisher of Highline Magazine, asked me to create some art for their Winter 2011 Issue. The magazine is well loved in these parts, since it is created right here in the Bow Valley. Many of my friends have written for or appeared in the pages of this exciting, beautiful, and witty magazine. Having my work, and my bio, appear in Highline, as a contributor, is something I couldn't pass up. PLUS they PAID me. Always a nice thing for an artist... I am good at what I do, and I don't like starving...

The article, written by Highline Editor, Meghan J. Ward, is called "What's In A Name? A Reminder of Things Past" and is about Ha Ling Peak, in Canmore, Alberta. I was asked to make a collage, and I decided that Fuji emulsion lifts of images of the Ha Ling Range, which were shot by Kristy Davison, would illustrate the article womnderfully. I overlapped the images to create the panoramic view of the range. I made a few different pieces for them to chose from. They used the ones above. Below are some of the others I made. If you are in the Bow Valley, you can pick up a free copy of Highline in various coffee shops and stores.

I am a big fan of Highline Magazine, the best read in all of the Bow Valley. The shiny glossy print mag comes out twice a year, which is just too seldom. To remedy this, Highline decided to start a blog. If that was not exciting enough, they then contacted me about being one of their regular bloggers, and, but of course, I said YES! Now, I am on my way to becoming a regular contributor to the Art + Soul department of the Highline blog, yeah! And my first post when up this week. Entitled, Banff Becomes This Gypsy Girl, it is about how I came to live in the Bow Valley. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Better yet, let me know how you ended up in the Bow Valley, or wherever you live. We ALL have a story...
