Artist's Statement
Snorkeling with my camera through the city, I look for undiscovered beauty. I just swim, observe and find treasures. Images appear behind every corner posing only for me. I do not question. I trust, and they become my beautiful art captured forever. I am in the flow.
Bio
Gordana Gerskovic is a photographer and mixed media artist who maintains a studio in Gaithersburg, MD. She specializes in capturing textures, surfaces and urban abstractions using a macro lens to zoom into the details. Her photographs of organic change and worn surfaces continually surprise us, make us slow down and see the world differently — make us see what’s all around us. Born and raised in Zagreb, Croatia, she came to live in the United States in 1997. Gerskovic studied photography and designed and earned a degree in Graphic Design at Montgomery Collage in Rockville MD. Gerskovic is a juried member of Foundry Gallery in Washington, D.C since 2012. In addition to her studio practice, Gerskovic works and supports individuals with disabilities.
