Louis Artists' Guild would like to present Tales by Light, a national juried photography exhibit featuring photographers using various photographic techniques to showcase how light can impact your work. Tales by Light A National Photography Exhibition July 21 – AugOpening Reception: July 21, 2023, 5-8pm I continued exploring this photographic style using the window light of my 100-year-old farmhouse which is the inspiration for this newest work.

My porcelain hand built sculptures blend an organic and contemporary style. In the Curated Gallery Light and windows are deeply intertwined with my work as a ceramicist and photographer. ![]()
