Maysville photographer Gigi Renee' Webb says, "As a
young girl and young adult, the camera was a way for me
to record my life's experiences." When she would show
her photographs to friends and family, storytelling
sessions often ensued of the challenges, successes,
travels, loves, and losses of everyone's different
experiences. Webb says these moments are what inspired
her to reflect on her life and develop her passion for
photography into a career in the fine arts.
"I use the camera as a way to create art that will touch
memories," says Webb, "thus, stimulating a sense of
comfort or conflict at a very personal level. My hope is
that the emotional response will inspire others to reflect
on their lives with a sense of passion. The kind of passion
needed to fulfill dreams."
In this exhibit, titled Rural America, Webb
documents her reflections on life in rural
Oklahoma. The images include the people,
places, and culture of small town Oklahoma.
Webb uses her creative eye and knowledge of
camera techniques to add a surrealist touch to
her images. "Personal attention to the elements
of exposure as well as the details of digital
processing is key," she says.
In all her collections of photographs, Webb uses
exposure, composition, and color management
to communicate her view while hoping to invoke
thought by those who look at her art.
Webb has over twenty years of experience with
photography. She has spent much of the last
several years experimenting with and perfecting
techniques for digital photography. Over the
last five years Webb has used her expertise to
teach classes and workshops on digital
photography at institutions such as Pauls Valley
Alternative Academy, Mid-America Vo-Tech in
Wayne, OK, Garvin County Camera Club, and
the Pauls Valley Arts Council.
Webb maintains memberships to the Oklahoma
Visual Arts Coalition, International Photography
Hall of Fame, Pauls Valley Arts Council, and
Artists of the Arbuckle. She is a resident artist at the Stark Art Gallery in Pauls Valley and
has recently exhibited at Adalante! Gallery and Visions in the Paseo.
