‘Water Lilies’
Connie Cross, an Atlanta-based artist working in photography and mixed media. She’s self describes as a photographic story teller. Also a photo editor, Connie has been a professional photographer since 1990. Connie received formal education from Armstrong State College in Savannah, Georgia where she earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Art Education and is now Attending Atlanta Technical College earning a degree in Graphic Design and Video Production. Connie has taught photography and mixed media art to children and adults throughout the Metropolitan Atlanta area.
Connie realized early in her career that she loves to photograph people. Her diverse clientele appreciate the unique style and ability to capture decisive moments, expressions, and emotions. Young or old, naïve or seasoned, carefree or earnest Connie’s work integrates photography and mixed media to share a story.
Connie is currently working on several projects including:
‘Soul Searchin’ – portraits that capture the essence of the soul. The portraits in this exhibit are displayed in old wood frame windows. Eyes are the window to the soul; this exhibit permits the observer to peer into the window and into the eyes of the subject. Soul Searchin has taken Connie throughout South Georgia and resulted in very powerful images.
‘Herstory’ – gives mothers a voice through portraits and video. The rise in single women bearing children sparks speculation and conversation. Often, observers will fabricate stories based upon stereotypes. Connie asks these mothers to tell their own story from their own perspectives. The exhibit permits the observers to hear sometimes surprising motivations for becoming a single mother.
‘Home Is Where the Heart Is’- explores the landscapes of homelessness. Connie’s newest work gives homelessness a new voice by photographing people in the space they call home.
‘Achieving 100’ – welcomes you into the hearts and lives of elders in their journey to achieving 100 years of ages. Journey with us as they tell the stories of what is keeping them strong and thriving to get the most out of life.
It boils down to the fact that everyday people have remarkable stories, and these stories deserve to be heard. I was given a quiet opportunity to tell some of my stories. I always had a voice, now I have something to say. I am using photography and videography to say it.
