Join us for photographer Melanie Gonzalez's garden spruce-up community event and photography print sale on September 3rd. Thank you, Melanie, for adding so much beauty to our Center this summer!
In her words:
"This collection is a deeply personal exploration of photography as a fine art medium with themes of New York State and architectural landscapes over a wide range of locations. My double exposures, created in-camera (Rock and Shadow/Piedra y Sombra series) are like a living archeology of urban decay, floral and pastoral glee, and experimentation with scale, color, analog processes and print outputs.
Local landscapes will take your viewership through New Paltz, Hyde Park, Wallkill, and various other places that make the Mid-Hudson Valley region a sparkling gem in the 11th state it resides in. Distinct tropical landscapes celebrate my exploration of Hispanic Caribbean heritage, mixed with photographic assignments in Brazil, Italy, Egypt, the West Coast, and beyond.
My 18 years as a practicing photographer has brought you this exhibition today, an exhibit that I hope sparks joy, pieces together inspirations, and reflects on shared history."
Light refreshments will be served.
Saturday, May 23rd from 5:30 to 7:30pm (Community Center).
