The Stunning, Mixed-media Photography of AlexisCoram
11.22.11 Filed in: photography | mixed-media
(22 November 2011 :: ATLANTA/CHICAGO) You’re in for some great photography selections for this year’s ARTvision - and some of our best and most creative ever from Chicago’s own AlexisCoram. I met Alexis when I attended the wedding of Jim Verraros & Bill Brennan (which, by the way, yielded the ARTvision image “Moments that Matter,” a piece that sold twice in a matter of minutes in 2009), and we hit it off immediately.
Upon an astute reminder-suggestion by Penny Frulla, one of our awesome artist outreach gals, we successfully talked Alexis into joining the ARTvision fold with “Waterboy” and “Ascent,” two stunning photography pieces output to metal that will knock your socks off. (read more)
“Waterboy” is a celebratory shot of a water fountain in the evening, with warm tones and illumination. “Ascent” is an sparse, abstract scene of a dry flower. Both are mounted on metal; we’re offering each at $300 or $550 for the pair. - WP
Please join us on 1 December 2011 at The Phillip Rush Center for ARTvision Atlanta’s first standalone event. As always, 100% of proceeds benefit Positive Impact. (RSVP on Facebook or Evite)

First-ever 'Quad Collaboration' with "Tis of Thee..."
(15 November 2011 :: Atlanta & Chicago) This is one of the coolest stories of this year’s ARTvision.
The tale begins with AlexisCoram and her website, PhotographProse.com. I’ve been a contributor to this site for some time, most recently with “No Regrets from the Greener Sanctuary,” a poem I wrote set to Zed Boucher-Myers’ photo to commemorate Thom Anderson’s new counseling space.
The point of PhotographProse is to join writers and photographers in an online environment, to collaborate and tell stories and exchange creative ideas. Very much in line with the ARTvision philosophy.
Fast forward to this past September 11, when I loaded a photo entitled “Pride” to my blog, shot on the streets of Provincetown, Mass., to accompany a blog post about the 10th anniversary of that horrific day. Unbeknownst to me, longtime ARTvision artist Brenda Knosher jumped on the site and wrote “’Tis of Thee” as a prose reflection of the image and day.
From that point, I got it in my nutty head to ask my mother, Mary Pollock, to use her expert calligraphy in “typesetting” the poem on a piece of archival art/drawing paper. I found the perfect frame, too, at Binders and have since distressed the interior to match the color of the door.
The quad-collaboration was hence born, and so we’re offering “’Tis of Thee,” to Positive Impact donors for $400. Thanks to Alexis, Brenda, my mother for contributing to this cool storyline. - WP
