About Me

I'm more of an artist with a camera rather than a "photographer" I know very little about "photography" but I do enjoy playing with light and texture and arranging images in photoshop so that they are visually appealing to me. Here's a bit of my background story: Near the end of College 1994, feeling somewhat out of place in Amarillo, I attempted to reach outside to like minded, creative souls by publishing my own worldwide pen pal magazine 'The Gate' (This is before the wonderful World Wide Web was in every household folks!) 'The Gate' got an honorable mention in Mick Mercer's reference book 'Hex Files'. I used my connections from my publication as an avenue to sell my handmade gloves, hats, and jewelry under the name 'Kimberly's Closet'.
Years later after a long break and settling cosily into a family of four, I decided to revamp 'Kimberly's Closet' and started my own online accessory store 'SlipshodSally' selling custom handbags, which got the attention of Gothic Beauty assistant fashion editor, Acid Poptart, resulting an interview.
I discovered a knack for photography and makeup artistry while creating promotional photos for my site.
In 2007, I took the advice of a friend and made a portfolio to join the Amarillo M.A.C. team to further my makeup skills and got work published in the M.A.C. Spring 2009 update book. In June 2011 I left the M.A.C. team to persure my thirst for "something more" and found myself immediatly doing makeup for the film Fulcrum, The Lonestar Ballet, and trend reports on the local news channel 4.
I continued making accessories, branching out into necklaces, earrings, headpieces and belts. Having close network of industry friends in Dallas some of my pieces appeared in features by Pin Curl Magazine, Auxilary Magazine, and Tattoo Collection Magazine.
My life is a balancing act. I juggle being a wife, a mother, an artist. As long
as I can remember, I have been consumed to create and beautify my little
world that I dream in. Slipshod, my work is anything but. I'm obsessively
picky about the quality of work I create: blending the perfect cheek,
drawing the straightest liner, finding the prettiest lighting, engineering the
most divine concept.
I'm a magpie collector of tattered and rusty, forgotten objects, adding these to my designs to invoke mystery. Many of my pieces have an ancient feel to them that I work very hard to create, often dyeing fabrics and distressing trims to get that unique shabby look. This is why I chose the name SlipshodSally as an alter ego.
My trades are many and growing. I am seldom still. If I am not sewing you can bet I'm making up faces or tinkering with my camera.
I joined MM for more opportunity mainly in networking. I will occasionally do photography for trade if it benefits promoting my line of accessories.
