Here's what has been written about our show
"Five Views is an eclectic and exciting combination of photography and photographic art, fused glass, digital art and oil on canvas media to delight the eye and whet the palette for art.

Dayton K Knipher’s intriguing mirrored image photography and Myra Gates’ digital art trick the eye and beg closer examination, while Mark Lubich’s fused glass dazzles with mixed color and social commentary.

Photographer Steve Russell takes a plunge into the secret life of bugs and comes up with some amazing shots and Andrew Noel’s oils harken back to the impressionists but also bring a fresh and contemporary approach to landscapes of our region."

Hope you can join us in CVG’s October Boardroom exhibit and bask in each artist’s dynamic approach to both nature and human experience. All are unique, engaging and complimentary to the whole.

Artist Reception Saturday October 2nd from 11 to noon.

My piece titled "Intricate Fern" was juried in to this show.  Here's what I said about my piece:
"I love getting out in nature and photographing all her fascinating intricacies. I then use mirrored images of my original photo to create my abstract art. Intricate Fern shows such complex shadings of green, I felt it truly was a “study in green” as well as a gentle reminder of nature’s delicate balance and the need to preserve it."

70th Year - Northwest International Photography Competition

I am honored and thrilled to have been juried into this prestigious photographic competition this year.  My piece can be viewed in the projection section of the international photography salon at the Western Washington Fair (consistently ranked in the top 10 fairs in the world!!!).  Over 1 million visitors attend the Fair and many of these visitors make a point to view the photography competition each year (myself included as I have attended the Fair for over 20 years) 

Never thought I would one day be a part of this amazing exhibition of photographers with entries from all over the world.  I can't wait to see it installed!  Here's the link and text from the Photo Salon section on the Fair website
