Andi & Adam <3

Meet Andi. Has an intense love of books, color, art, antiques, pottery, family histories and home restoration and renovation. Posesses an unhealthy obsession for sparkly things, oddball kitchen tools and tuxedo cats.

Andi shares her historic 1904 stone house with her husband Adam, a handful of wicked kitties and whatever stray humans she's housing at the moment. She hates talking in third person, but that's how this stuff is written. *sigh*

The Artist: Disciplined in the graphic arts & photography. Self-taught in everything else. Can do anything from website design to jewelrymaking to costuming without losing all of her marbles. Take a wander through her work, you're bound to fit into the adventure somewhere! _________________________________________________________________

The Unofficially Official SSR Manifesto:

She Saw What? What on earth is that girl talking about?

Red. What do you think of? It's a powerful color. Fierce. Symbolic of love, luck, passion and anger. It's the safelight in the darkroom. It's the hue of Alizarin Crimson - the paint color from which my online identity derives its name.

She Saw Red is the product of my natural progression as an artist. Red isn't even my favorite color! But "ultramarine" or "cobalt" just don't work here. Blue has no motivation.

She Saw Red is a nod to all of the women out there who aren't about to let society put them in a neat little box and call it a job well done. She Saw Red is my way of explaining that I make my own box, thank you very much. I am not the woman that women are "supposed" to be, and I'm truly not missing anything!

In a college drawing class, I read Interaction of Color by Josef Albers. This paragraph has always held my attention:

If one says "Red" (the name of a color) and there are 50 people listening, it can be expected that there will be 50 reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different.

Your Red will be different. Embrace who you are. Indulge in your passion. "Normal" can take their cookie cutter and shove it.

<3,
Andi
