Take a fine-art photographer with many years of experience, an aficionado of oysters and fine wines, a lover of life with a wild imagination and you get truly unique photographs of oysters raised to a new level of artistic interpretation.
The photos for gallery presentation are available for sizes 11”x14” and 16”x20” clear Plexiglas shadow boxes. Each photo has been cut out to just the shape of the oyster and shell, mounted onto a layer of 1/8” black polystyrene which is then glued onto a smaller piece of 1/4" plastic which raises the oyster above the background giving a true three dimensional effect. The background is of a special plastic laminate with a surface of simulated brushed aluminum which is attached to a piece of plywood with black edges cut to the same dimensions raising the piece out from the wall and allowing the shadow box frame to be screwed at top and bottom. The resulting presentation contrasting the organic oyster and the high-tech background is absolutely stunning and will inspire the viewer to give the one they love a deep, wet French kiss and send them both to the nearest oyster bar……..or straight to bed.

Star Woodward has been entertaining herself in various ways her whole life: singing dancing painting building crocheting dressing up writing glueing; lately mostly painting and mostly hubcaps and some bowling pins. she used to find them on the side of the road and in bowling alleys. now people just bring them to her. the most asked question? do you put the hubcaps back on the cars? the answer is that they are mostly pretty broken when we pick them up. and the pins could be bowled with, but why? they are really in retirement an would rather just sit pretty.
