She has had numerous photogra- phy shows in Portland, Lon- don, Charleroi in Belgium, and has an upcoming show in Hillsboro. “Oh, Paris … As an artist, I liked the mystery hidden within the shapes and lines of this revered old city, reminiscent of its glorious past, mixed with the daily life of a vibrant present,” she said. “I found myself trying to capture its architecture: the unusual, the unexpected, its spirit … whether through a different angle, different lighting, different composi- tion… “My goal is to invite and challenge the viewers to look deeper into my photos and find an underlining significance to some familiar places — some of the most photographed and well- known religious edifices of the world … To evoke viewers’ curiosity and enter- tain them visually, despite photographing normal and everyday buildings, objects and people.” The artwork is for sale. All proceeds will be donated by Grace Episcopal to the local Food Bank. A local business, Franklin Vista Properties, will match 20 percent of the proceeds. So come, have a hot cup of coffee with a young artist, take a photographic detour through Paris and help feed people. Donations will be accepted.
