CARA WESTON: THE WORLD AROUND

March 28 – May 26, 2015
Opening with Cara Weston scheduled for March 28th from 4:00 – 6:00pm. Artist’s Statement ~ The World Around: Giving my spirit time to breathe in order to capture the ephemeral richness of light is my meditation practice. Seeing is more than just observation, it is the recognition of each element in a scene for its own purpose; honoring its existence and how it contributes to the greater whole. As a photographer I am constantly drawn to the subtleties of the world around me and how they play against each-other in moments of contrast. I am blessed to have always had photography in my life. By heritage, by inclination and by emotional immersion the images I produce are to satisfy my own need to create and they exist in the hope that others will join me in the journey.
