Website Update
Heart and Tears © Roberta Murray
I have completed a major website revision. As time goes on my focus is becoming more defined. My art is very much a work in progress which is subject to the changes and revisions that go with it. I have abandoned trying to segment the subjects of my photography and am instead focusing on the pictorialist nature of the images and how all the previous subject related themes (the land, the plants, the animals, the people) play into the overall story of my life, dreams, and nightmares. I hope that it will make my work seem more cohesive and relevant. I have broken the images down into color work and black and white images, of which I wish to produce more of. I’ve also included an area to show newer work, which should make future updates a little less onerous.
One thing I’d been wanting to address for awhile is grouping my images according to the gallery exhibitions I’ve been doing. But those groupings present pretty abstract themes that seem disjointed without the benefit of the curatorial statement. To build the whole website like that would be difficult and exclude many of my more popular images that aren’t currently part of an exhibition theme. The solution was to present a section dedicated to my exhibition themes. The way I’ve set that section up might not be the most elegant, but it allows for future expansion.
I hope the new design will make more sense and be easier to use. I would love to hear what you think. Of course, if you run into any errors or have any problems, please let me know.

Your website re-design looks great. I always find it so difficult to categorize my images. I like the way you’re thinking this thru..and how you’ve set up your portfolios. As always – an inspiration!!!
