Exhibition at Artist Haven Gallery May 2011

Posted

Note: This post originally went up in April 2011 as the invitation to my first-ever gallery exhibition. I'm preserving it here as a record of that milestone, with the original invitation text intact and a few photographs from the opening reception added afterwards.

My first-ever gallery exhibition will be held at the Artists' Haven Gallery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from May 1st through May 31st, 2011. I'll be exhibiting alongside seven other artists in a group show, with six floral artworks in the exhibition.

I'll be attending the "Meet the Artists" reception on the evening of Saturday, May 7, 2011 from 6–9pm. If you can make it, please come and say hi, and enjoy the complimentary wine, hors d'oeuvres, and desserts.

The event is open to the public. Attire is casual. The gallery is located at 2757 East Oakland Park Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, FL.

All six pieces are printed on Hahnemühle photo rag paper, double-matted, framed in a 2-inch black frame, and glazed with non-glare acrylic.

Faces of Pasifika 2007 — A Day at Auckland's Pacific Festival

Posted
The 15th anniversary Pasifika Festival poster — a collage of the Pacific cultures the festival celebrates. On Saturday 10 March 2007, I spent the day at the Pasifika Festival at Western Springs Park in Auckland. It was the festival's 15th year — an annual celebration of Pacific Island cultures that has been part of Auckland's calendar since 1993, and which typically draws crowds of well over 100,000 across the day. Nine Pacific villages are traditionally represented — Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands, Niue, Fiji, Tuvalu, Tokelau, Kiribati and Tahiti — with music, dance, food, arts, and craft from each community sharing the same park for the day. I usually visit New Zealand earlier in February, but in 2007 I was there in March and it was the first — and, to date, only — time I've been able to attend Pasifika. I hope to make it back one of these years. But I came away from that single visit with the str...

The Watchman and Virgin River — Painterly Winter Landscape

Posted
The Watchman and Virgin River, Zion National Park — Painterly Winter Landscape — © John Corney The Watchman is one of Zion National Park's most recognizable formations — the peak that rises up just past the south entrance, often photographed reflected in or framed by the Virgin River as it winds through the valley floor. I photographed this view on the same January 2006 trip as the other winter Zion piece in this collection, with the river running low and the cottonwoods and willows along the bank stripped bare for the season. I worked this one up with AI assistance into a full painterly interpretation, the same way I've approached the rest of this Zion series — directing the process the way a film director works with a cinematographer, choosing what to carry forward from the original photograph and what to push harder. Here that meant leaning into the warmth of the low winter light against the cool snow on the upper ridgeline, and letting th...
