Charleston Art & Portraits Features Works by Kelly Green
"Flowers are such delicate creations that
are gone in the blink of an eye," says fine art photographer
Kelly Green. "Initially, it's the color of the flower that
catches my attention. But what moves me to squeeze the shutter
is the shape, flow, and inherent sensuality of the flower itself."
Green's most recent work is shooting deep inside of flowers, presenting
an apparently abstract image. In fact, they are examples of her
expertise in macro photography - the art of shooting things close
up. The work in her new one-woman exhibit, Floral Fantasies,
like all her work, is hand printed. The show will be on exhibit
from July 15 through Aug. 13, 2005, at Charleston Art & Portraits,
in Charleston, SC.
Green has exhibited in fine art galleries and private collections
from Seattle, WA, to Charleston, SC, and is an active donor of
her work to assist charitable organizations in raising money for
their foundations. She participated as a photographer in the Who
Among Us multimedia exhibition at the City Gallery at the
Waterfront Park in Charleston, in 2004. It helped bring attention
to Charleston's homeless population.
A South Carolina native, Green has been a fine art photographer
for the past ten years. She uses a Pentax 35mm camera for all
of her photographs, whether macro photography or her other area
of expertise - candid portraits and travel photography.
Green has been living in and photographing the Lowcountry for
the past 2 years. She received her formal training from the Rocky
Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, MT, but considers
herself mostly self taught.
"As with any discipline of study, all the classes in the
world are useless until you apply the knowledge through experience,"
says Cecile Langham Cothran, owner of the gallery and oil portraitist,
whose studio is located in the gallery. "Kelly is dedicated
to her work, and is top notch in her field. More importantly,
to most of us, her images are truly beautiful." The pieces
in this show represent a new palette of colors for the artist.
This body of work was on Fuji Velvia 50 film.
A resident artist and represented by the gallery, Green was most
recently part of the two person show, Montana, Africa and Beyond,
which exhibited her wildlife photography, and was sponsored by
Charleston Art & Portraits.
