Obelisk Home welcomes
Photographer Joyce McMurtrey
Obelisk Home at the Inspired Commerce Building, 214 W. Phelps, presents Photographer Joyce McMurtrey, who was recently featured in the December issue of 417 Magazine. "My photography is honest," Joyce says. "Vineyard pictures are my interpretation of a wonderful, but complicated place to spend a lifetime. It's easy to imagine that vineyard life is romantic. The flip-side of all this beauty is the hard work that is required to produce grapes for making wine. In working with the land comes an appreciation of life in total, and a reminder of the cycles of life from birth to death." (417) 616-6488 www.obeliskhome.com
