Studio B presents "Photographic Images" by Sharon K. Merkel

Award-winning photographer Sharon K. Merkel of Barto, PA proudly presents her show,
"Photographic Images," at Studio B July 16 through August 16, 2010.

Merkel, who has a background in advertising and illustration, found herself fascinated and challenged when
she turned to photography. The process deals with "the art of subtraction," she says,
"choosing what should be included and omitted in order to convey meaningful photographs."
Her works provide captivating perspectives on the intersection of man and nature, drawing her audience
 in and allowing them to create their own conclusions about each image.

"When I go about photographing these structures," Merkel says, "I first see the forms and color that make
up each and how they are affected by the light."

Merkel has shown in numerous galleries, including the Pennridge Gallery of the Arts, Out of Our Hands Gallery
 in Emmaus, The Banana Factory in Bethlehem, and galleryONEmain in Highbridge, NJ, as well as at Studio B. She has also
 participated in "The Art Show at the Dog Show" in Wichita, Kansas and will be part of a show at the American
 Kennel Club Museum of the Dog in St. Louis, MS in 2011.
