Photography by Helen Thomas at Julie Wait Designs Art Gallery
Posted on Thursday, January 1, 2009
ROGERS - Unusual and interesting photography by Helen Thomas will be at The Julie Wait Designs Art Gallery from Friday through Feb. 27. An artist reception is scheduled for 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Jan. 9.
According to the artist, photography is a perpetual passion of hers. She has pursued it for more than a decade and has taken a number of courses and workshops to hone her skill. Thomas said that after studying light and shadow for years, she concluded the art of photography is intriguing.
"Remembering the wrinkles in strangers' faces, seeing infinite shades of green in diverse landscapes, being ready when the sun rises and watching the brief golden light near dusk with awe every time," Thomas said - "those are all parts of the image puzzle. The prize is simple - a memory of when, where and how you created an image.
"Most of my work is digital now. However, I never feel finished. The natural light is beckoning and the digital darkroom with its countless tools makes for endless options. Imagination. That is the fun."
The Julie Wait Designs Art Gallery, at 318 S. First St. in Rogers, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturday by appointment. The phone number at the gallery is (479) 631-8706.
