demigail
is my working name as an artist, writer, and photographer
I live in rural Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley, back a gravel road that cuts through a thousand acres of grazing and crop farmland. The woods around our home provide food and shelter for the caterpillars that become more than 23 species of butterflies that I photograph between March and October. I use the photographs to create apparel, books, art, and products sold locally and nationally.
My undergraduate degree (in writing) required graphic design, photography, and layout courses. And while I had been taking pictures long before that degree (and ever since) for fun, friends and family, it was a few years ago that I began to actively use my photographs in creating graphic designs for fabric, producing books, designing products.
My "design-eye" developed young and has been used in many disciplines beyond photography: table-setting design; clothing and fabri-arts; scrollsawn jewelry, arks, and damsels; dyed scarves; painted sheets as scenery; crafts for summer reading program; public relations brochures; and training and development materials.
