Our gallery will host the winners of our 2022 juried exhibition, (S)LIGHT OF HAND. Juror Christina Z Anderson, a well respected author, teacher, and maker of Alternative Process photographs chose the work of Marek Matusz of Houston Texas and his four-color gum prints of boldly colored flower still lifes; Director Donna Cosentino selected the quiet Cyanotype still life work of Lou McCorkle from San Francisco. Although they use similar materials, the engaging photographs of these two artists contrast greatly in subject and in use of color palette. The opening will be a celebration with both photographers attending. Reception hours are Saturday, February 11 from 5-8 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. Parking is available nearby. Regular Gallery Hours are Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-5 p.m. and by appointment. Exhibition runs through March 4. Contact Donna Cosentino for more info.
