I have just updated my website with additional works from my series of photomontages depicting the endangered and threatened species of Costa Rica.  I invite you to take a look!  I would be very interested in suggestions you may have for a title for the series.  I need a title that suggests the themes in the body of work.  I have been struggling to create a title with meaning that doesn't seem overdone.  I look forward to your feedback on the images and on your suggestions for a series title.  In other news I am officially on sabbatical this semester, and I have big plans!

Exhibition Invitation

In exhibition news, I invite those of you who are able to join me at the Danforth Museum for the New England Photography Biennial 2009, September 13 - November 8, 2009, where my work will be featured. The image chosen for the exhibit was my work titled “Boston 2200 A. D.” The exhibit will officially open with a special public opening reception honoring the artists on Saturday evening, September 12 from 6-8 p.m. A number of special lectures and talks will occur through the course of the exhibition. This exhibit occurs every two years, and in it the Danforth Museum of Art celebrates photography as an art form through a highly selective exhibition of photographers who reside throughout New England. Juried by Phillip Prodger, Curator of Photography, at the Peabody Essex Museum, and Barbara O'Brien, former editor of Art New England and former Director, Trustman Art Gallery, Simmons College, Boston, the 2009 New England Photography Biennial showcases exciting and innovative photography by both established and emerging artists. Prodger and O'Brien chose 73 works from 1,030 pieces submitted by 213 artists.

I now have gallery representation for my infrared photography series titled “Otherworldly Visions” with the Artful Home.  I invite you to take a look at www.artfulhome.com and consider acquiring my work to enhance your living spaces or suggest my work to a friend or colleague who you think will enjoy it.  There will be a link to the site on my Facebook profile and fan page, so it is easy to recommend my work to people you know who might like it.  I donate 10% of my proceeds from this body of work to the Rainforest Alliance , a non-profit who works to protect the worlds’ rainforests and indigenous communities that live in them.
 
Peruvian Voyage and Artventure
08/25/09
I have just returned from an incredible voyage of learning and discovery.  During the month of July, I traveled in Peru through the Cordillera Blanca, which means “white mountain range” in Spanish, referring to the glaciers on the peaks, with a group of climate scientists from three universities.  The scientists and their students were from McGill University, Ohio State University and University of California at Santa Cruz.  The scientists were researching a variety of topics having to do with climate change and its impacts in Peru.  I learned that the glaciated peaks of the Cordillera Blanca are melting at an increasing rate as global temperatures rise and that historically the people of the Andes and the river basins below have relied on the glaciers’ melt water to provide their water needs in the dry season.  It is possible that most of these glaciers will disappear in the future, depending on the amount of global temperature rise.
