The lush photographic work of artist Trula Blize becomes human emotional equivalents, each image a celebratory expression of a thought, a whisper, a song, a word spoken. This show, titled Intimate Celebrations, draws the viewer into a rich, full experience which transcends the visual. The poetic work allows for personal rejoicing with each shutter click. Trula sees promise and beauty in every leaf, every blossom, every curve of a hillside or clove of garlic. Her goal is to share the promise.
May
Diane's exhibit, "Inspired by Nature", includes watercolors, pastels, mixed media, originals and giclees.
