Surprises

The surprise mentioned on my website, is that I've included the piece, "Heads for Sale" by Kerry Brooks, in the exhibition at the gallery this month. (2.25" x 2.75", Graphite on Bristol Board). This is a new addition to my personal art collection, and a favorite at that! Brooks is a very talented and gifted artist.

Promotions

So, I must do a bit of self promotion, wearing the gallery director 'hat', and promote the artist. Seems I do a better job with promotions of other people's shows vs. my own shows, so I have kicked myself in the rear and am doing a bit of marketing before the exhibit closes. Here is the new postcard; I have created it in the theme of the Polaroid, a few of which appear in the gallery.

New Black and White images from the Glendo Derby

The annual "Derby", held at Glendo (Wyo) state park marina.

New Photographs by Laura Brent, opens Friday!

Putting together the new exhibit of my latest photographs, opening this Friday, Sept 3, with a reception from 6-9:00 p.m. The works included feature new images in two previous series, both the "White Dress" and "Toyland". Also, I will be showing some more personal photographs, images taken of my family and our times spent over the summer. To exhibit these intimate family pictures is challenging for me, as I am a very private person and try to keep my professional and personal images separate. The quality of the images is inspiring me to share the work with my audience. I only hope they will enjoy them as much as I do.

Also included in the exhibit are some Polaroid images, both new and old, and digital images formed in the 'polaroid' style, using the latest technologies.
