Tickle your creativity and remember the last time you built a fort or spent time in a treehouse. The Gibbes brought in Patrick Dougherty to create an installation over the course of 3 weeks.

One of the perks of photographing events for our local Gibbes museum is meeting the artists and witnessing them sharing their stories and gifts. John Westmark’s ‘Double Bind Series’ encompass’ the whole feminine spirit; bold, bright, movement, stillness, grace and strength. The pieces are large with up close surprises.

In March of 2014 the Women’s Council of the Gibbes Museum hosted Charlotte Moss for the Art of Design lecture and luncheon benefiting the museum. Ms Moss, author of A Visual Life: Scrapbooks, Collages, and Inspiration, sparks the senses to be present to see the beauty that surrounds us.

At the Gibbes invitation, I had the honor of documenting their inaugural speaker of the Distinguished Lecture Series. Leonard Lauder’s presentation of art from all perspectives grabbed me.
