Sarah Bloom’s extraordinary self-portraits have been published in Fitness Magazine and were accepted for inclusion in the 2008 Art of the State show by the Harrisburg Council for the Arts.  In 2006, Sarah set out to take a self-portrait each day, publishing them on flickr and her blog.  One year stretched into two as she developed a significant following and discovered new avenues for self-discovery and expression.   She joins us on April 8th to share a selection her self-portraits and some thoughts on the revelatory benefits of being both artist and subject. (NOTE: Sarah’s also at the top of the heap with her project “For Our Daughters” at Name Your Dream Assignment.  Her proposal is an extension of the work she’ll be sharing at the Salon.  Take a look and give her your vote!)

On April 8th, she’ll present her work with three other artists:

Photographer Ted Adams, art & documentary photographer, Director of Southwark Gallery, and Curator of online Abandoned Photo Museum. (link)

Samara O’Shea, founder of letterlover.net and author of The Love of Letters: A 21st-Century Guide to the Art of Letter Writing and Note To Self: On Keeping A Journal And Other Dangerous Pursuits (link)

Colette Copeland, a multi-media visual artist whose work examines issues surrounding gender and contemporary culture. (link)
