Erika Heffernan arrives with an alluring, previously unseen selection from her 398 Days Collection, evocative and personal images following the artist on a daily photographic journey of solitude as she copes with the Covid Pandemic and its effects, capturing beauty during a very dark time, one that begins in isolation but ends in elation. Popular photographer, writer and all round renaissance man, Mark Hedden returns with a personally curated series of nature studies of which he says, “though I write a Key West Weekly column about birds, I generally don’t consider myself a wildlife photographer, but this show has given me the opportunity to share some images that I really like…wildlife photography can be chaotic. It can take quite a few shots to get a really good image of a bird.” LOOKING OUT AND UP opens with a gallery reception to meet the artists on Thursday, July 11th from 5:30 - 7:30 which is free and open to the public.
