November First Friday
FREE Community Art Event
November 3, @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Featured Photographer: Julie Bonney
Please join Julie Bonney, a member of The Photographer’s Gallery at Ashland Art Center, for the First Friday Art Walk, November 3rd. Julie is a local photographer who finds inspiration in the natural beauty of Southern Oregon and Northern California. To quote John Muir, “The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness.” A wooded scene that has depth to it is beacon for Julie to stop and linger, wanting to enter and explore more. To her it feels as though there is a great mystery hiding somewhere within and is an invitation to enter. To enter not only the woods but into a deeper relationship with nature and self. Please come into the woods.
