“MY LOVELY FRIEND”: This photograph by Jill Mudge is featured in “Narratives in Nature,” on view June 21 through July 20 at Gallery 14 Fine art Photography in Hopewell.
Gallery 14 Fine Art Photography in Hopewell will present “Scott Hoerl: Still Life Photos +,”
“Jill Mudge: Narratives in Nature,” and “Barbara Warren: Imaginary Landscapes” June 21 through July 20.
Warren said, “Some of my favorite subjects to photograph are landscapes, abstracts, patterns and textures. Due to COVID and personal injuries, my ability to pursue landscape photography has been limited in the last few years. So I’ve turned to creating my own imaginary landscapes. These landscapes are created by combining photography with traditional collage techniques. I create the collage elements using my own painted papers and my own printed photographs of abstracts and yes, landscapes.
“I create both traditional collages mounted on cradle boards as well as photographs matted and framed. I often photograph the collage after the first layer of papers have been laid down. I then finish the collage in the traditional manner, but also create a photographic variation by adding elements and layers in Photoshop to create a print version.”
Mudge said, “I consider myself a fine arts photographer and I enjoy taking photos of landscapes, nature, wildlife, and equine photography. I am active with local photography clubs and enjoy staying current with new ideas. I am a member of NANPA, Gallery 14, Princeton Photography Club, Garden Club of Princeton, and the Arts Council of Princeton.”
According to Hoerl, “My award-winning photography is a product of a lifelong interest in the arts. A native of Delaware, my artistic journey began in my late teens in Vienna, Austria, where I studied classical music and where my eye was first drawn to the architectural marvels of Europe that have become a theme of my photography. Those early years also instilled a lifelong obsession with travel.
“STILL LIFE Photos +”: Photographs by Scott Hoerl are on exhibit at Gallery 14 Fine Art Photography in Hopewell June 21 through July 20.
“‘Still Life Photos +’ features many of my still lifes, including various flowers, plants, and items I have collected on morning walks with my wife. I especially relish creating textured backgrounds to compliment these images. I have a fascination with shapes, shadows, and reflections which will also be a part of this exhibition.”
