City of Legends

Later this week I will be activating yet more poetry/art integrated pages at my new site. www.williamfdevault.com, bringing dozens more of my classic and recent works to life and light with art and photography by talented creative artists from around the world.

One feature I am adding is special areas where I will be featuring clusters of my works interpreted with the help of a single artist or photographer, in many cases individuals who are already familiar to my readers.

The first two that will be activated are two amazing photographers who come at you from very different aspects:

Ukrainian graphic artist, photographer and model Mariya Andriychuk will have a featured gallery where a dozen of her photographs are used to interpret various works of mine.  Mariya is one of my friends who has helped to inspire the Fields of Arbol features on Amomancer.  Her photographs will adorn such works of mine as In the Arms of the Dragon.

Brazilian photographer, model and artist LiZa Lorraine will have a similar gallery, also with  dozen of her works.  LiZa has been a creative and inspiration contributor to several of my recent works, including the aforementioned Fields of Arbol.  Her talents will enhance such works of mine as Cithara Song, strummed lightly as the sun leaps the horizon.

Two more disparate artists would be hard to find.  LiZa’s work reflects an everyday elegance, the beauty of a smile, of well-turned ankles in ballet slippers.  Mariya’s is edgier, swinging from the blatantly erotic to the intensely, desperately spiritual.

I am very grateful to have these the first of several interpretive and creative artists featured on the new site.
