Artist Available For Gallery: Lee Hendrickson

Art and Science find a beautiful harmony in Lee Hendrickson’s photographs of crystals. Taken through a microscope, these crystalline landscapes confound the imagination with their kaleidoscope of colors and patterns; all reproduced as originally seen. The colors in these crystal photographs are the result of refraction of white light through the many crystal facets, much like a prism effect. Crystals have long been coveted for their healing power and beauty, but seldom have they been revealed with such intimate and stunning detail.
Lee Hendrickson is an artist, scientist, and educator. His travels have taken him worldwide and his award winning photographs explore the beauty and the magic he has discovered within.

Artist Available for Gallery: Charles Blackburn

Charles Blackburn is a nationally-recognized, award-winning photographer.  He holds a BFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA and currently works/lives as a Freelance Advertising Photographer in the Pacific Northwest.

"Capturing intimate visions of Americana, found as I travel across the country, is a passion in my life. Creating these intimate little stories of small towns fascinate me. These images are a small portion of a body of work I’ve been creating over the past year and half. Digitally captured by photographing the ground glass of a twin lens vintage camera and using that camera as an external lens, the technique gives the work a feeling of mystery and depth that engages the viewer and helps me to share my passion with others."   -CB

“I find that getting lost on trips yields my best photographic work. I have always felt there is a wind behind you, or in you, pushing you through this life…and the best thing you can do is just go with it and see all that you can. I like to capture those moments and the ideas that grow from it. I find comfort in photography. It lets me share my thoughts, ideas, and life with the world around me.”

Artist Available for Gallery: Paul Flinders

"The scenes I depict approach the life experience with an inherent sense of optimistic curiosity. Whether in places of heightened joy or despair, there are instants of pure expression whether it's being verbalized or felt through tears or laughter. It's real and honest. Ringing over everything is this sensation, or realization, that life is overflowing."  -P. Flinders
