This is the beginning of a new series of work exploring the role of women in society. Every culture imposes hidden restrictions upon ladies. How that manifests in everyday movement is my challenge to record using my lightgraph technique of painting with the camera.

Painting with the camera can create the sense of being personally close to an object through colors, textures, memories, and the seasons. With a landscape that’s exemplified because of their never-ending vastness that somehow surrounds us in an embrace. For me landscapes inspire contemplation, and patience. That and the sensation of being at home, welcomed by nature’s warmth.
Sometimes I feel the need to get down to the sea and connect with nature’s way.

Beach DreamOur bodies consist of the same proportion of water as the earth. We are creatures of the sea. The draw of the ocean has been written about time and again. There is something more vast and more mysterious about the sea than anything else on earth. It’s something similar to the vastness and mystery of the universe itself. Our planet is just one in our solar system which is connected by the vastness of space. Is the relationship we have with the ocean a microscopic reflection of the relationship our Earth has to space?

Maine Sail
Every month Ramona du Houx exhibits her work on her online gallery and at her studio in Solon, Maine. Every month the theme changes reflecting the personality of the “lightgraphs,” she has chosen for the month. “Lightgraphs” are a technique she created that makes photographs resemble watercolors.

Ramona said, “Painting with the camera can create the sense of being personally close to an object through colors, textures, memories, and the seasons. To take a photograph of a flower is obvious and can be simplistic to some. To me that is the challenge- for flowers are complex and can show us the universe if we dare to look. To show the energy and light within a flower and how it relates to its surroundings can be like viewing the Milky Way with the Hubble telescope. There seems to be a distance between stars, there appears to be voids between flowers but the energy we don’t see binds them together. Continue reading

MIAMI – Maine artist Ramona du Houx is in a current group exhibition with her Maine photos of seasons in Miami, Florida Dec. 3 – 8 at the Red Dot Art Fair.
“It’s a wonderful chance to showcase Maine’s seasons the way I see and feel them,” said du Houx. “It should give folks in Florida a taste of Maine some may miss.”
Du Houx is represented by the art’s district Gallery Storks of Tokyo, gallerystorks.com, which exhibited her work in a solo show in February of 2012. Du Houx sold a copy of her photograph, “Whisper Song,” in the October Affordable Art Fair in New York City, where 50 galleries were represented.
“Ramona’s work is unique and captures emotion that stirs the soul. It’s timeless,” said Takafumi Suzuki, Storks Gallery Owner. “It’s a privilege to represent her.” Continue reading
