For the past few years, I’ve been using the camera on my iPhone to notice and snag beauty that catches my eye. Looking through the camera lens helps narrow my focus. I enjoy playing with the composition to accentuate light, color, and shapes I find appealing. Here are three recent photos that I love even more every time I look at them. I’m thankful for those smart folks at Apple who designed a cool camera into my phone and grateful to live where beauty is easy on the eye and all around me.
Here is a video of my completed entry for the Volume 14 Sketchbook Project. Shortly after making the video, I shipped this labor of love off to the Brooklyn Art Library to added to their permanent exhibit. I got a confirmation email from the library that my sketchbook, Vanessa’s Book of Fantastical Butterflies, can be found on the shelves of the physical library with call number 360.16-4. Soon, it will be digitized and available in their online library.

The art tools I used to create my sketchbook are Micron black pens and Sharpie highlighters.
