But these new pieces seem to be the end of me doing that. I’m getting back into pure photography. And I like it.” Schrack’s love for photography and art developed when she was attending grade school in Nebraska. “I went to a country school and they didn’t offer any kind of music, but I could make art and be outside,” she said. “That’s the life I lived as a child and a young adult.” Schrack’s mother loved taking photographs. “She took a lot of black and white photos of us all the time, because that’s what she did,” Schrack said with a laugh. “That set the stage for me becoming a visual artist.” Although Schrack is also getting back into painting, photography is still her No. 1 love. “Why is it my favorite thing to do? Because it’s so fun,” she said. “I also think the whole world has discovered it through their phones.” Schrack said she likes the connections photographers create with their subjects. “It’s a way to dig deeper,” she said. “It’s a way to explore the things you are photographing. That’s something that I’ve come to appreciate.” Schrack’s subjects usually appear in the natural world. “I love organic shapes,” she said. “I also don’t get bored working in that environment because everything constantly changes in nature. “I could never be a studio photographer,” Schrack said. “Working with still lifes would just kill me, because being out in nature where it changes second by second, is what keeps me [going].” Although Schrack loves photographing the ocean, she prefers to keep her images more generic. “I like photographing places, without naming where the 2 SPRING INTO REDSTONE!

Schrack began her career as a black-and-white photographer before she began adding color to her resume. photos were taken,” she said. “I don’t say, ‘This is Hawaii’ or something like that, because I like to have my pieces focus on the subject, without the viewers having a conceived idea of a piece. “I just want to transport them to what I’m shooting, without having them to think about flip-flops and shorts. I mean, they can think whatever they want. I just want them to come up with ideas on their own.” Like Oishi’s art, Schrack’s works emit the “Tranquility” theme, because of the soft look of the colors. “To be honest, I think I’m becoming bolder as I’m getting older,” Schrack said. “I 2 1 1 FOR used to shoot in black and white. Then I went to handcolored works, which are very muted and soft.” The artist went full color when the digital camera came onto the scene. “I still muted the photographs with encaustic paint,” Schrack said. “So, it’s been a slow uphill spiral. So, what you’re seeing now is really the most full-color work I’ve ever done. And I love it.” “Tranquility,” an exhibit featuring the works of A.J. Oishi and Thea Schrack, will open at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 26, at Julie Nester Gallery, 1280 Iron Horse Drive. For information, visit www.julienestergallery.com.
