But on a professional note, here is my Bio:
Adine Schoonmaker is an artist and photographer living in Brooklyn, NY. She was raised in a small town in rural central NY state in the 1970's. Her Grandmother, a former Cooper Union art teacher, began tutoring her in drawing technique at age 7 and she spent much of her free time drawing the plants and flowers that surrounded her in the countryside. Around that age she also began formal dance training with the Decker School of Ballet. Contemporary dance eventually became her primary focus and at age 18, she received a fellowship award from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center in NYC and an acceptance to The Juilliard School. After several years of training and performing professionally, she ended her dance career and turned her attention back to drawing technique and then on to painting and photography. Adine draws her inspiration both from the organic nature of flowers and plants that surrounded her during her childhood and the drama and passion of movement through dance. Though she begins her work now predominantly with photography of flowers and the human form, sometimes stopping there, she most times continues exploring and experimenting with both traditional and digital mediums.
