SHENA' CARTER

To understand the true meanings of art, you must have an open heart and mind.

Portraits, nature, and landscapes have always been my focal points but recently I've decided to incorporate myself in my art. Self portraits is a way for me to release my inner thoughts and feelings. Through this new venture, I've gained self confidence not only in my work but in myself. 

​

Stepping outside of my comfort zone has opened my eyes to the true beauty of the world around me to include the beauty of darkness. Darkness is not the lack of what you see but it's how you feel when you're in the darkness. It's how you feel when you're left with nothing but your thoughts. Your thoughts of what's within the darkness. Your thoughts of what's beyond the darkness. Your thoughts of what's darkness itself. 

As a photographer, I capture the beauty. As an artist, I present the beauty in ways that speaks to who you were, who you are, and who you want to become. It could be controversial and test your limits but it is part of you. You are part of art. Art is you. You are art.
