Art Galleries by Peg O'Connell

Some people are great oral storytellers, while others excel as imagery storytellers. I love creating imagery, especially through mediums like cyanotypes and hand colored photographs. Imagery is how I communicate my thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams. It is how I connect with people who appreciate imagery, including those who enjoy lumens.

All images shown in these galleries, including cyanotypes and hand colored photographs, are available for purchase.

Cyanotypes

Hand Colored Photographs

Abstract blue floral art resembling dandelions with textured patterns.

Air and Water

Two alchemical elements, one male and the other female. Both are fluid, atmospheric, and have the power to soothe or depress us. Just as cyanotypes capture the essence of these elements, they remind us of the beauty and complexity found in nature.

Hand Colored Photographs

A serene park with tall trees and soft sunlight filtering through.

Between 2015 and 2022, I began hand coloring my analog created black and white photos.

Landscapes, florals, and pears became my favorite subjects as they inspire hope, love, and calmness, especially in my hand colored photographs.

Lumens

Hand Colored Photographs

Lumens

Golden flowers glowing against a deep maroon background.

Fire and Earth

Two alchemical elements, one male and the other female. One is solid to ground us while the other moves us to action. These elements can be seen in the creation of lumen prints, where the solid foundation of the earth meets the vibrant, dynamic expressions of light.
