Relentless

Digital photograph abstraction

12 x 12 in

"I can't tell you how many times I passed barns without a second or even first glance. Now I notice these ordinary structures for the extraordinary variety of architecture from unnamed architects, and for being stalwarts of the rural. When all else falls, these rural stalwarts stand.

The 'Roundup' series is about enclosure, safety, and endurance against the torrent of time, and it is about encircling, roundup, and embrace within the inclusivity of landscape. They, like people, are both individual and part of a larger plane." — Y Hope Osborn

About the artist

Y. Hope Osborn

Y. Hope Osborn’s creativity in writing, photography, and digital art began as a child with a 110mm camera, a variety of crafts, intuitive drawing, lots of reading, and elementary school writing assignments that amazed her teachers. In 2020, she earned a Master of Arts in Professional and Technical Writing with Creative Nonfiction emphasis. Her education included valuable lessons in document and website design, use of software applications, and photography additions to many assignments.

She is a freelance writer and evolving artist, residing in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA—a city becoming a mecca for artists. Her creativity is rewarded with two solo spotlight exhibits in two years, one currently running, awards in international online competition, and publications of creative writing and art, sometimes in concert. Black and white photography and abstract art are her sweet spots, and she brings imagination to reality through a unique digital abstraction of photography.

Despite disabling health, she is tenacious about living fully and productively, growing a year-around, flowering patio garden; loving on rowdy cat Isobel; enjoying the comfort, camaraderie, spirit of her church family; and trying to hold fast to a God who continually holds fast to her. Among these she blooms in seeking elusive great Captures, expressing reality and imagination that captivates, inspires, or informs while enriching lives.
