ALL 4 COLOR
Artist Reception

"My on-going Earth/Water Series is an exploration of our local waterways, ponds, bays, and beaches. These studies are meant as a testament to the preciousness of our natural resources, which we all too often take for granted. The unusual vibrant colors and patterns in these almost abstract works are produced by through the available light, selected camera angles, shifting wind patterns on the water and in the foliage, refracted reflections on the water surface, cropping/zooming for close ups, and fast shutter speeds. On view from July 21 - August 7. Hours: Wednesday - Sunday 11 AM - 6 PM; appointments available all week upon request. For more info: thewhiteroom.gallery.

She continues to exhibit her work regularly on the East End and has won awards and accolades for her images. In Marilyn's words: "Photography has personally evolved into a meditation; when I am behind the lens I feel very present. I love to capture and record life's magic. I am passionate about my work and hope that when people view my images they are able to translate these visual perceptions into something intimate and relevant to their own lives." An Artist Talk will be held on July 15 at 5 PM. Exhibition open hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 11 AM to 3 PM; weekday viewings are by appointment only. More info at remsenburgassociation.com.
