Paperwork Newsletter: Sharpen Your Art Collection

Greetings Art Lovers,

Going “Against the Grain” can be enlightening. Take it from photographer Noel Michele.

Noel Michele occasionally puts down her camera and picks up colored pencils. During one of these sabbaticals, the camera didn’t stay down long. This week’s Paperwork print is the result of a photographer exploring another artistic medium, only to return to the camera. As she was doodling with good ole charcoal and colored pencils, Noel noticed the colorful shavings on her tin lid. She couldn’t resist snapping a photo of the scattered pencil shards.

“Against the Grain” sharpens Noel’s artistic mission. With each photograph, Noel attempts to capture the unknown and the neglected. Since the age of 6, Noel has used the camera to find idyllic moments in life as a means to surprise and delight those around her. Now, Noel continues to shed light on any moment that goes unnoticed. 

What areas of your life have you forgotten? If you need a nudge to explore new avenues of expression, let Noel Michele’s print, “Against the Grain,” be the perfect reminder. 

Artfully yours,

Kurt
