Choose from three amazing photographers. Retired teacher and a Master Naturalist, photographer Jane Rubrecht welcomes the opportunity to reach people and raise their awareness of surrounding environmental issues. This is her third year participating! Each photo seeks to elicit a visceral reaction with an audience. This “Wow” factor opens the door to conversations raising the awareness of environmental and worldwide issues. Her work is a curated collection of photographic fine art presented on a variety of mediums. Dick Cunningham has interesting landscape scenes from many favorite locations. Tom & Kathi Hince have an eye for creatures, great and small. If you enjoy roseate spoonbills, white pelicans, sunset or beach scenes, you are sure to find the perfect photograph.
