![]() Teri Rowan – Colorado Dreamscapes
About the artist My father gave me the gift of a camera when I was six years old. From then on, I was hooked. That little Kodak Instamatic went everywhere I did. In 1993, years on down the line, I began formal training, and soon the student became teacher and artist. Over time I have won awards and worn many hats: dark room technician, studio photographer, tutor in digital art, gallery director and curator. Lastly, and most happily, artist. About the Art Art can transport us to different places & times, allow us to see & experience sights beyond our wildest imagination, weaving us in & out of fantasy. Fantasy that is silver & scarlet, indigo & azure, obsidian veined with gold & lapis lazuli. The best fantasy is created in the language of dreams. It is alive, as dreams are alive, more real than real, for a moment, at least. The very best part about these dreams is that you can take them home, hang them on the wall, and visit as often as you like, because these dreams are for you.The Colorado landscapes I create are fantasy driven and surreal, as are my figurative pieces. Created with archival dye based Chroma Life inks & printed on acid free fine art papers and metal. I offer my artwork as fine art giclée prints, & ready to hang metal prints. Metal Prints are made by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets, through a process called dye sublimation. About the creative process The creative process starts with a breath of inspiration, whether it is a beautifully written novel, or mythological tale, a dream, song lyrics, travel, or my native homeland of Colorado. I then begin by photographing images that express what inspired me, or sourcing black & white negatives from my own archives. The next step is importing the shots into Photoshop & layering them. A lot of trial and error takes place during creation. I then print a small test image to see if I’ve got the colors and levels right for output. Each image takes an average of two weeks to complete.
