Views and Visions: Tony Peterson
Tony Peterson covers a wide range of subjects, but the nature of structures and the structures of nature are common threads in his photographic work.
By Any Name: Gail Hiebert
No matter what name she signs to her work, Gail displays a gift for deft, subtle use of color and serene depictions of nature.
Nature Preserver: Brigid Greene
Brigid Greene’s art makes use of leaves and other parts of plants … not so much as raw material to be processed into something else, but as visual elements to be arranged in a way that highlights their underlying structures, lines, curves and textures.
Insectophile: Robert Melville Stone
Robert Melville Stone has taken an image from the natural world, made it his own … and created a sculpture capable of grabbing a viewer’s eye for more than one look.
Holding History and Inspiration: Susan Nelson
No matter what item or substance each of Nelson’s works is designed to hold, it also carries with it her appreciation for history and determination to keep pottery vibrant and vital.
A Strong Return: Jesse Thomas
Jesse Thomas’ illustrative bent for natural and fantastic (as in fantasy fiction) subject matter is enriched by an appealing, quirky inventiveness.
Nature, Writ Small in Silver: Jim Barker
Jim Barker, best known for his paintings and sculptures, takes a simple, organic approach to his work in silver.
From Life: Anna Zimmerman
Anna Zimmerman’s “Hidden Interlopers” explores the uneasy relationship between human creation and the natural processes which, if left unchecked, would overwhelm it.
Cropping Nature: Ron Stewart
Ron Stewart’s work focuses on the naturally occuring patterns and textures found all around us.
Energy Work (and Play): Eva Wojcik
Eva Wojcik’s pen-and-ink drawings are both dynamic and tranquil, each with an organic rhythm and interplay of visual elements.
Vehicles for Transportation : Norma Herring
Norma Herring has a gift of not only depicting time and place, but also of recreating a sense of depth in her paintings.
Multiple Views through One Pair of Eyes: Darrin D. Dressler
There are two basic strains of nature photography: One which attempts to convey a sense of place and time, and one which makes those things secondary. Darrin D. Dressler’s is of the latter sort, although he doesn’t disregard season and geography entirely.
Rocks in Concert: Robert Anders
Robert Anders favors stark, unadorned images of broken or stratified rock: canyon walls, fractured basalt, layers upon sedimentary layers. The heat is almost palpable (as anyone who has been around a canyon wall that has soaked up sunshine for a day could attest), but it’s a physical rather than emotional warmth.
Natural Impressions : Connie Mowe
Mowe’s love of nature comes through clearly. So does a clear affection for color and contrast and a bent toward Impressionist technique.
Petal and Blade, Leaf and Trunk: Brynn Burns
Brynn Burns invites viewers to see flowers, trees, and grasses not only as what they are, but also as collections of color and pattern and texture. Beyond that, though, she wants to provoke a response that runs deeper than the visual. Her photographs are at ARTichokes through August 8.
