Four of my framed pieces have been selected for the 2014 Photofest, a national juried exhibition hosted by the Quinebaug Valley Council of Arts & Humanities in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Photofest 2014 will feature the work of “twenty-seven artists from thirteen states” and I’m honored to be among the exhibitors. The selection of my photography that will be on display represent a diverse cross-section of my work: both color and black & white… both purely natural landscapes as well those that bear the mark of civilization.
One of my selected works, A Breeze in Tobacco Valley (above), is part and parcel to a new project I’ve been working on which explores the vistas, textures, absorbing farmscapes and nostalgic aura surrounding the “Tobacco Valley” region of Northern Connecticut. In this particular piece, we gaze upon three time-worn tobacco sheds that stand sentinel in an abandoned field overgrown with swaying, summertime wildflowers.
I invite you visit the 2014 Photofest exhibition, where you’ll see A Breeze in Tobacco Valley along with three more of my works, as well as a range of photography by other artists. However, the gallery hours are limited so I do recommend that you carefully review them before heading over to Southbridge, Massachusetts. All of the pertinent information can be found below.
