Alright, the artist has a thing for “Trees”. But after moving through these beautiful images, you understand the meditative approach this veteran photographer, Howard Brunner, takes in capturing little vignettes of nature touching us.

I’ve loved trees all of my life. I had the great good fortune to grow up on a Pennsylvania farm with a wide variety of trees adjacent to…

The Drapery, Eric Kunsman

"The Flamenco; The Spanish Passionate Dance" Photographs by Julio M. De Pena, Red Filter Gallery

“The Flamenco; The Spanish Passionate Dance” Photographs by Julio M. De Pena, Red Filter Gallery

Flamenco 04, Julio M. De Pena

Years ago, I stumbled on a small cafe in Mexico that had a strange mix of rhythmic clacks and guitar strumming emanating from behind its entrance. Having grown up in the time of Jose Greco, I was familiar with this Flamenco motif. What I was not prepared for was the beauty of the performance that took place on table top less than six feet away. The photographs of…

Kharkhorin, Josep Maria Orengo

Come to the outer reaches of Asia and observe the meditative beauty and isolation captured by Orengo in these dramatic photographs.

The landscape of Mongolia is a visual poem of the most incredible, the skies, the colors, the rapid change of climate, the mist, the mystery of shamanic mysticism and the isolation of the nomadic existence of its people. Hard…

“Somewhere…”, Photographs by Sandrine Hermand-Grisel, Red Filter Gallery

Cerrillos, N.M.,  Sandrine Hermand-Grisel

  Just like a whisper, the darkened, shadowy photographs of Hermand- Grisel force the viewer to come closer in order to find meaning in the art.

Somewhere… in the United States… As an emigrant, I am not a tourist, nor a total stranger, nor totally at home… 50 states… 3.79 million square miles to travel all over to discover everything. In other words an…

Coming Home, Debbie O’Donnell

Hailing from Australia, Debbie O’Donnell captures a unique vision from “Down Under”.

Returning to Western Australia after an absence of 18 years was a strange and emotional experience. The combination of returning to my roots and feeling home, but also feeling disconnected. Immersed in the comfort of nature; listening to the rustle of leaves and branches swaying in…

Drained, Bronwen Hazlett

Using an alternative printing process, Bronwen Hazlett brings a mystic touch to abstract photographic scenes …

During the process of painting chemistry and exposing imagery, I push emotions and reality into something indiscernible but felt.   I coerce chemical reactions like my own reactions to hopes colliding with reality.

Now through June 30.

Looking Down, Kathleen Nademus We all know the beauty of a snow covered landscape but capturing it on film is a wonderful challenge that Kathleen Nademus takes up with great enthusiasm. This white magical scene creates a peacefulness, a quietness as no other season does. It is extremely beautiful. Shadows dance on the white blanket left behind. The landscape softens in a snowstorm becoming…

Liam Sharp accomplishes this result with finesse. The image I see when approaching is gone as soon as the subject becomes aware that they are being photographed.
