The Act of Living

livingWe invite you to stop in to the White Meeting House and take a look at the new show by Kelley Taft, a Duxbury photographer.  Her images are filled with the ripples of hope that living in good community and in good faith creates.  She writes about her work:
Photography is a means I use to explore and communicate my experience of the “act of living”.   The natural world, the expression of joy, people living life, beauty, grace, sanctuary, connection, and story captivate and inspire me.  I am grateful for the opportunity to share some things I have seen and felt.  I present my photographs as an invitation to personal reflection/connection and to discourse within oneself and with others.
Her work is colorful, beautiful and quite accessible.  She has labeled all of her photographs with a title and with a quotation from a writer

New show in the sanctuary

Last week I worked with Fayston artist Cathy Stevens Pratt to hang a show of her new work, based on the theme of vessels. It’s colorful and captivating, and I hope you will stop by to see it! The show will be up through mid-May. Here’s a sample, her 16″ X 24″ painting “Perfect Little House Moment” More about Cathy and her work can be found at her website, www.catillustrates.com
