Flashes & Strokes: a Tale of Two Mediums

The digital and traditional arts are thriving in Boston. From newer, technology based media like photography and digital art to more traditional art, there is so much to see, explore and learn from in Boston.  Through our Flashes and Strokes series, we’d like to celebrate artists from both worlds: traditional and digital.

Honestly just really feeling the light in this one. Fourth of July firework smoke makes for great moody lake pics.

“In Iceland, you can see the contours of the mountains wherever you go, and the swell of the hills, and always beyond that the horizon. And there's this strange thing: you're never sort of hidden; you always feel exposed in that landscape. But it makes it very beautiful as well.” – Hannah Kent _____________________________________________________________ This photo is from April 27th, 2016. I just found it in an old archived iCloud folder while getting my new #iphone8plus set up. I never processed this image after my trip but am so glad I found it as it was one of the sketchiest places I’ve ever shot, but as you can see the reward was worth it!! #iceland #explore #dieliving♠️

20 art galleries live inside a converted 19th century textile factory. i could have gotten lost inside for days. from mill to museum. this place is truly a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. #MASSMoCA

Show #2 with @xhyolynx at the Caribbean Bay in South Korea – the largest water park in the world! #SeeSea #KirklandKrew We had to change a bunch of things 5 minutes before the show because the stage was too small, and the girls pulled it off flawlessly. SHOWS WHAT TRAINING CAN DO! @christinaaalba @nicolekirkland_
