Bio/Artists Statement for "Smoke Art by Sara"

Sara Moore, a former public school teacher turned artist and photographer, lives in Tucson, AZ. She has explored different forms of art her whole life but, about 10 years ago, she picked up a digital camera and never looked back. In exploring her passion for photography, she stumbled upon some interesting photos of smoke and was immediately struck with the idea of creating smoke art.

All her pieces begin as photographs she has taken of incense smoke, which becomes the medium to create an art print. Upon viewing the photos, images become apparent to her, as she teases them out of the twirls and swirls that are naturally formed. Most of the work is done in the digital darkroom, where she manipulates the design and color of the image.

In describing her work she states, "What I love most about this type of creation is that it allows me to combine my two passions of photography and art. Since my pieces begin as photographs of smoke, their style retains organic qualities and the work has a feeling of movement, fluidity, translucence, and layering. Some pieces remain in a more natural, abstract form, while others may end up as a literal interpretation of a concept. The compositions are minimalistic, with white backgrounds that stand in contrast to the rich, gradients of color I like to incorporate in the subject."
