This flyer announces my exhibit, “Megan’s Garden: a study in meditation and healing,” which will be displayed with “Panoramic Rochester,” by Sheridan Vincent, and other collections at Image City Photography Gallery, starting next week, July 18-August 12.

The reception for the entire show is Friday, July 20, from 5-8:30 p.m. Gallery hours are Wednesday-Saturday 11-7 and Sunday 1-4. The gallery is located at 722 University Avenue, in the building that used to house the Highland police station.

My series focuses on my friend Megan Reichman as she works in her garden, creating a work of art from stone and plants despite the challenges of her disabilities. As I say in my artist’s statement, for Megan, gardening “is a spiritual experience, a meditation, a way to connect with the life force within her and around her.”

The image in the flyer is called “Megan in Grass, Red Shoes." In this series I have been experimenting with a technique that combines black and white as well as color in the same image. I have found that this technique — possibly only through digital manipulation — better expresses what I want to say in this series than either black and white or color alone could do.

A preview of the entire show, including the work of other photographers, may be seen here.

My exhibit is funded in part by a grant from the Arts and Cultural Council of Greater Rochester.
