Ice Art by Holly Greene ~ All taken from 2007-2008
I'll never forget as a kid looking out the
school bus windows, seeing the iced
corners or sometimes ice covering every
window and wondering how to capture it
permanently. I thought of all media
types, like putting watercolors on paper,
then over laying it on the window, then
letting it dry. I wanted it to transfer the
lines and corners of the ice as it looked
exactly, just like artwork. As I thought
more about it, I figured it would be too
warm and melt before it could collect on
the paper.
It wasn't until I was an adult learning
more about photography and professional
cameras to realize this was best way to
capture it all along. Now I don't have to
worry about flash reflections in window
and the detail is amazing. Although I
don't ride school buses anymore, I do live
in the Northeast where ice is readily
available every winter season! I hope you
enjoy my Ice Art - making ice into art
collection, which I add to every year. It is
natures beauty captured as it should be
recognized, as artwork.
Here is a small version of an iced photo
I took and won a contest submitted
through New York Institute of
Photography. I took this looking out
Jim's jeep window back in 2006.
After this I revamped my fascination of
the ice art.
