Anguished II
Self portrait.
Our Delphinium petals fell into a puddle outside and I just thought they looked so beautiful and serene sitting there…
Autobiographic piece. About falling inner kingdoms. Photomanipulation and some painting.
This is the first in a series I foresee doing, to increase awareness to the plight of endangered and threatened animals from around the globe. This First Edition focuses on three of the largest and most endangered carnivores today, the Sumatran tiger, the Amur leopard, and the Snow leopard. These are by no means the only imperiled wild cats, as the majority of wild cat species smaller in average body size than 30 kg are at a critical stage. / / / Because without these animals I would never be able to bring their beauty to you, I am going to pledge to donate 100% of all of my sales proceeds from cards and prints of the imagery in this series here on Redbubble to Wildlife Conservation Society Thank you for your support in the race to stave off the extinction of these magnificent creatures.

Nothing too serious, Siena has just ordered her Salt n Pepper squid and the order is taking longer than expected…. We do live in the lucky country if that’s all she’s got to cry about…
When we are sad we feel insignificant…. spaced out – and can’t see the glorious world in front of our faces… just for a moment… and then it passes and you see it all again…. this image represents that moment in time, with a pure expanse of aesthetics in front of the figure completely lost in his own sadness. _and for an insight by Andrew Walker into the very creative mind and inner workings of the vanzella mind read the following

Masquerade Art Print / Available as a framed art print, poster, card and laminated print. / Masquerade is part of the Permanent Feature Showcase Are we really happy with this lonely game we play / Searching but not finding understanding any way / We’re lost in this Masquerade. Both afraid to say we’re just too far away / From being close together from the start / We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way / We’re lost inside this lonely game we play. Thoughts of leaving disappear everytime I see your eyes / No matter how hard I try / To understand the reason that we carry on this way / We’re lost in this Masquerade. / Words & Music by Leon Russell Image copyright © 2008, Shanina Conway. / Reproduction, displaying or redistribution of this image without permission from the artist is strictly prohibited
Old self portrait. When I wanted to share my story but couldn’t because I felt it was too ugly. Some people talk about their problems. Some people make pictures in Photoshop. © Cadence Gamache
From the self published picture book “Snow Man is My Friend” which was about child abuse and creativity. Pencil on board.

Nominated for Pay It Forward by the talented Martin Muir. This is what Martin had to say: / “I chose this as it reminds me of an only child in a world of his or her own, imagining a world of music and a field of dreams. This image reminds me of days when summers were summers and cares were something the future held. Chantal’s images are always colourful and imaginative, thanks Chantal for sharing your wonderful talent.” Winner in the Arthouse Productions Moody Blues competition :) ..::Stock Photo Credit::.. / Model / Background / Texture / Butterfly If you like this piece, please check out: / / /
it’s easy to only focus on the sadness inherent in an old derelict building like teton. / when you know the misery in the history of a asylum, and you see / only the ruins of what it once was, you sometimes become blinded / by the macabre and morose, by thwarted hopes and unchecked corruption. / if this is all you see – in an abandoned building, in your own life, in the world around you / it’s easy to feel that perhaps it would be best to erase it all, to hide everything away / so deep that it can’t encroach upon your fleeting comforts and contentment. / but, in this place where such terrible, tragic things occurred / there is something else that resides there – sometimes in the brilliant green ivy / that works its way into cracks and crevasses the way lovers’ fingers entwine, / sometimes in the softness of the wind, or the stillness of untouched afternoon sunlight – or / the way gravity welcomes the falling rafters back to the earth and time / absolves its past in the oblivion of unmolested sleep. teton had such beauty – in / the sincerely charitable ambitions that built it, in the graceful forms of its architect’s true design, / in the naive hope of the many who genuinely believed it could bring a cure for the ill, / and in those confined who stole friendships and dignity from the greedy hands of / disgrace and neglect. if you can’t see these things, you’ll never understand why i do what i do. / photographs capture slivers of time. they preserve a point of view, a moment / that would otherwise be forever lost. if you seek truth through them, / maybe you can illuminate the soul of a thing, and maybe show someone else / the proud glory and splendor of the forgotten and forsaken. / the triumphs and frailties of human endeavor may now be heard only in echoes, / but i guarantee you if you are quiet and you listen / you will hear not screams of agony and anguish, but the sweet serenity of final release. / if you approach the past with humility and reverence in your heart you’ll realize that / immortality is not something anyone can ever capture – but if you are very lucky, / through a photograph perhaps you may capture a glimpse, / a fleeting moment of something that, in its own abstract and inexplicable way, / proves beyond a doubt that nothing ever dies. / —-—-—-—-—-—-- photo taken at teton state hospital / more of my work is on www.abandonedamerica.org / please check out my new book, filled with photos and text – the link is on my site’s main page!
