In 2011, landscape photographer Gary Albertson lost his sight to a rare form of glaucoma, in spite of four surgeries by a leading team of vision specialists. Determined to find a way to continue his art, he persevered, using what little peripheral vision remained. This image, "Spirit Water," is his first photo since losing his sight, and was captured without assistance. He is looking up.
Trio is a mixed media work that combines both acrylic painting and low relief sculpture at once. I first sculpt the horses, commit them to a mold, then a mold result is glued down on a heavily gesso wood panel, then metal flake is added to bronze paint with patina defining the horses. The patina look is borrowed from some patina metal that I found on a beach and thought that it would translate well to this work.

Sarah Rowland & Francois Arends
The subject speaks for itself (if it could speak). Sisters residents Francois Arends and Sarah Rowland share their love of natural materials in a whimsical giraffe made of cherrywood and stone.
