On this months First Fridays Art Walk I opened up the studio for Dylan Clemmons to show some of her photography. Here was her artist’s statement:
“Dylan Clemmons is currently a senior at Shawnee Heights High School. She is involved with many art classes but her favorite has always been photography. Dylan enjoys bringing out the beauty she sees in everyone and everything through this art. She adored her first windup film camera (which she got as a 2nd grader), and carried it with her everywhere even though it didn’t have a flash. Her parents, Dale and Kate Clemmons, were thankful when her grandmother helped her purchase a 2 mega pixel digital camera at the age of 12, since she went through rolls of film faster than her mom could buy them. She now owns a Pentax K 100D and is hardly ever found without it. She appreciates still life but really loves “people pictures”. Recently, her portrait of her grandparents, In Step & In Love, earned an honorable mention in the Landon Center of Ageing photo contest and will be featured in next year’s calendar.
If you care to see more of Dylan’s work, visit her online gallery page at: deeceemarie.deviantart.com”
Here are a few images of Dylan with her display, with her grandparents and the photo that earned honorable mention in the Landon Center photo contest and finally a closer-up image of some of her work. If you know a high school student who would like to have their art displayed on upcoming First Fridays Art Walks please have them get in touch with me. Thanks Dylan!
