Peer Group: 5 photographers who inspire each other
February 2-29, 2012
Opening reception Saturday, Feb. 4th. 2-4:30 PM
We are having this exhibition because we want to convey what happens when visually oriented people make the time to get together and let our pictures do the communicating. We have been doing just that for two years now, meeting about once a month to enjoy each other’s company and to think with our eyes. The selections from five individual portfolios on display in the Hosmer Gallery represent five facets of our group expression.
Who are we? First, the very innovative artist/photographer Peter Kitchell is the prime instigator for us getting together along with Sarah Holbrook. Sarah has a decades long career making great art from whatever photographic medium inspires her. Ellen Augarten, appreciated for her professional portrait as well as fine art photography, brings her talent and good sense to the group. Seasoned professional photographer and artist, Gregory Thorp, was an early influence in Frank Ward's photography career. He continues to inspire us all. Frank has been a picture professional, teaching and making photos, for about as long as everyone else in the group.
