This past summer (2004), my husband Dain and I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Akron Public School’s Project R.I.S.E., an organization that provides services to children and youth who are experiencing homelessness. The project, “PhotSynthesis: A Photo Literacy Project,” was designed by me for teen age girls and was made possible by a grant from the Women’s Endowment Fund, Akron Community Foundation. Using the visual art form of photography, the teens explored various aspects of the art form, of composition, matting and mounting photography, journal writing and story writing. The theme for our work together was: “Me, My World, and Me As A Woman In the World,” which was the title of the exhibit of their work which was subsequently displayed at Charles Mayer Gallery from September 10 through October 11, 2004.
