We Welcome guest artist Bleu Knight September 4-27, 2008

Bleu Knight was born and raised outside of Philadelphia, PA. At the age of 16 she moved to Santa Fe, NM where she received 4 years of formal training in fine art. She went on to formally study biochemistry and earned her Master's degree in 2006. Bleu was inspired to create this series of paintings by the beauty she finds every day in nature. She recreates these forms and offers them to Buddha, hoping that he will also find them beautiful and bestow his blessings upon her.

Soft Pinecone Productions Studio & Gallery Welcomes Nicole Marie Roche

The Eye Behind The Camera
Born and raised in New Orleans, I always had the natural desire to live and work within the arts. While experimenting with different forms of art, even music and theatre, I went on to obtain my Art Education degree and a minor in Art History from L.S.U. I still dabble in various art mediums, but photography has become my passion! I have been photographing the world around me since I received my first camera at the age of eight. A masterpiece waiting to be discovered was peering back at me through my camera. After studying film photography for years and even teaching darkroom techniques to kids, I began to study the technological wonders of digital photography. With the opportunity to work directly with some of New Orleans' top photographers, plenty of photo shoots to always keep me busy, and my art on display around the city, life could not be going much better for me in New Orleans. But as Hurricane Katrina forced me to realize, there was still a world waiting to be discovered through the eyes of my camera. Subsequently, Denver, Colorado has become my new home and is now my view from behind the lens.

Nicole's work will be on display and for sale at Soft Pinecone Productions Studio & Gallery from July 31st through August 30th, 2008.
