Winter Poem "For Taressa"
A tiny patch of Springtime lingers
at the tips of Winter's frozen fingers
and in there somewhere, it holds a Flower
unlikely to ever be devoured
Defying the laws of Misery's cycle
an Aura dancing warm and vital
There is no Sunshine to be felt
but instead she makes this for herself-
through vibrant beauty, persona and smile
that could be intercepted from a mile
for inspiration refills to stand-
like a candle in gardens of white wasteland
The flame that she holds assures fairness again
by simulating the Springtime in cold Michigan

-Scott Hixson

Taressa: (defined by my little sister on urbandictionary.com)

2010-02-09T11:47:00.003-06:00

Someone whom works with their hands in creative mediums. Usually a sculptress with amazing biceps and a wit to match. Taressa's are associated with epic-like life stories with twists and turns that are never expected and hard to match and always exciting.

Sometimes referred to as "T" or "Champ". T's are exceptional in the unexpected and and although at times clumsy, T's can usually run circles around competition.

T's enjoy kickboxing, little sisters, unique places, colorful isolated fish, crazy cats, ginger, eating flowers, ethnic cuisine, music you listen to with your heart, people who live by their heart, books titled "Eat, pray, love.", mango, fuzzy socks, fun hats, expensive jeans, travel, and did I mention little sisters. Most importantly T's enjoy Tea.

One other important thing to remember about T's, never ever give them too much sugar, they start to dance around in crazy movements making you laugh uncontrollably until your tummy hurts.

“Taressa will surprise you. Beneath her quiet exterior hides one of the most creative talents I've worked with in a very long time. Once she opens up you see her perspective is fresh and beyond the expected. Her work always stands out and is respected by her peers and those who assign the work. Taressa is a valuable creative asset.”

Les Raebel, Adjunct Professer, College for Creative Studies

I'm in love with a piece of white marble.

Nature informs my work: Organic, flowing forms evoking motion. I engage the combination of nature and human-being in order to express life in the context of spirit. To me, this is the manifestation of the intangible. Of the flesh and spirit.
"Human spirituality appears at this juncture of life when life breaks loose of the biological bondage and shines through with new qualities: The aesthetic, the ethical, the reverential, the spiritual . . . ." -Henryk Skolimowski, 'A Sacred Place to Dwell: Living with Reverence Upon the Earth'

Emo

This is very "emo". However, the assignment was to convey emotion with imagery. So it kind of had to be emo. This was my first Photoshop assignment. I loved how this tool allowed for layering and transparency. I took photos of my sister, Andrea, and she became my muse that semester.
