TREVOR SCHMIDT MIND ACTIVATION 2022 16 x 20” Media: photo https://www.trevor-schmidt.ca/ https://www.instagram.com/trevor.schmidt.artist/ ARTIST BIO I use my camera as a paintbrush, transforming the environment before me into works which further reveal the artistry within the terrestrial experience. All my photographs are created in-camera at the time of exposure. My career as a crime analyst demands frequent exposure to the most tragic qualities of humankind. Immersion in fine art photography is my antidote to the harmful mental health impacts of work devoted to preventing the immorality and suffering of others. Having directly experienced the transformative healing power that art can provide, my priority as an artist is to share my work so that it may provide other people with feelings of peace and comfort.
PROJECT STATEMENT If there exists a more calming place on this Earth than the ocean’s edge, or a vibrant rainforest, I haven’t yet found it. The sight and sound of waves moving in response to our sun and moon provide profound comfort, reflected again in the experience of a mindful forest walk. I share the images in my Coastal Therapy series with the hope that they, too, provide solace for the viewer.
