Exploring the Beauty of the World

One thing that i think about art that i find interesting is that art shows the world around us that we may not one day view. I am able to see the half way across the world. One day I want to be able to travel the world and take photos. Not just for a job, but to explore. I was first introduced to nature photography from Thomas Mangelsen. He has a gallery in my home town, which is where I was first introduced to his work. But this is a view of the planet that I could never get in Nebraska, but through photography I can show how amazing the world is. That is what I want to do with art. Explore the world, and show its complexity and beauty.
Here is the link to his webpage to view more of his nature photography:  Mangelsen's Photography

“How much do you make? Have you ever contemplated suicide? … Electrical information devices for universal, tyrannical womb-to-tomb surveillance are causing a very serious dilemma between our claim to privacy and the community’s need to know” (McLuhan 12) So I guess I should tell you about myself then. Hello world, my name is Eryn. Currently I am a student at Lawrence University studying mathematics and studio art. With the combination of the two, I spend a lot of time in the studio or in a room with a chalkboard. Which to be honest, I don’t really mind, I like the smell of chalk and saw dust. Outside of the classroom I am a member of the swim and track team along with Greek life in Kappa Kappa Gamma. I’ve been swimming as long as I can remember and has become a big factor in my life. My friends joke that I am more coordinated in water then on land. Although I live in Appleton 9 months out of the year, Omaha Nebraska is where I call home (and yes I have heard every Nebraska joke there is). My mom was an artist in college and was always doing art when I was young, from painting at the zoo, or on the beach. So I guess art has always been around in my life. However, it wasn’t until High School that I seriously thought about art. I mean I always enjoyed it, but it was when I finally got some formal training that I started to appreciate art more. At that time I did mostly drawing until I got a digital camera of my own. Now it has become a huge part of me as an artist, not the only part of me but a part. The rest of me I guess I’m going to leave you to figure out.
