A Room With A View
Opening Reception - Thursday, February 5, 2009
Two women, two cameras, and two very passionate souls are offering the public a chance to view the word through their lens, their eyes, and their hearts
The love of life and all it has to offer is the inspiration for this show, which may sound vague to some, but it gives the artists a chance to show a variety of work, angles, and subjects all in the celebration of life. We invite you to stop by, take a seat, and enjoy the view...

The Water Trade: Pictures of the Floating World
Thomas Park
Opening Reception - Thursday, December 4, 2008
This is a mini-retrospective of work shot by Thomas Park in Japan or inspired by traditional Asian arts over the course of this decade.
From the artist: "Many of the images represent a return to my background in black and white printmaking and street photography - shot hand-held with available light on antique medium-format film cameras. I found that this approach, in addition to being pratical, suited the subject matter. Fleeting glimpses of strangers captured from the point of view of the anonymous observer, surreptitious views detached and yet also wholly interested."

Skin deep - Photography by Mina Bast
Skin Deep is a photographic exploration of the age old question of Beauty. What makes someone beautiful? Nati Amos is the main subject of this study, a nationally known spoken word artist and truly unique individual. Less than three decades old she has survived nearly 30 different surgeries that have left her scarred, but certainly not a victim. True beauty does not always come in conventional forms and Nati shows us this with beauty and grace. She embodies sexiness and confidence and shows us that true beauty comes from within and is hardly skin deep.
