Artist's Statements:

Claudia Holt
As I walk in nature, photography gives me a way to capture moments where the subtle and dynamic play of light and color invoke a feeling, a mood, or a question that takes me into deeper worlds. In this contemplative state, hidden realms reveal themselves, inviting me to interact with my camera. These photos represent the daily walks I took during the three years I lived at EarthRise at IONS. They offer a glimpse into an expansive space beyond our own boundaries, but a place that we can all call home.

Cathleen Evangelista
My path into photography began 12 years ago when I was suddenly inspired to mirror the beauty of my surroundings. I am drawn to the qualities of color, light, form, pattern and detail, often in the abstract form, which often reveal a delicate interpretation. When I find myself captivated by a subject I try to look at it from multiple perspectives to hear its voice. It is my hope that this voice will also resonate a deeper appreciation for you.
