A6 COMMUNITY East Oregonian Wednesday, November 13, 2019 Photo display focuses on ‘Yellowstone in Winter’ Artist talk is Thursday By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian PENDLETON — A stun- ning photography display featuring the work of Pend- leton resident Debbie McIn- tosh is currently available for view at the Pendleton Public Library. The exhibit is part of the library’s effort to show- case local artists and to pro- vide additional access to the visual arts. “Yellowstone in Winter” features nearly two dozen photographs McIntosh shot during a pair of seasonal trips to Yellowstone National Park. The public is invited to an artist talk and reception Thursday at 6 p.m. at 502 S.W. Dorion Ave. Refresh- ments will be served. Cherise Baker and Dena Summerfi eld, co-owners of Pendleton Art + Frame, both serve on the library’s art committee.

In addition, she said it offers an opportunity for more people to enjoy art. “Sometimes people are intimidated to go to an art gallery,” Baker said. The Pendleton business owners also have hosted sev- eral exhibitions of McIntosh’s work. And they are looking forward to a February exhibit that features McIntosh’s pho- tography of Mongolia. While she has always enjoyed taking snapshots, McIntosh said in a 2016 inter- view that she became more serious about her photog- raphy about a decade prior. After taking a photography course from Gregg Berlie at Blue Mountain Commu- nity College, she continues a course of self-study. McIn- tosh reads books and man- uals, attends seminars and watches webinars as well as embarking on photo tours with professionals. McIntosh focuses on capturing awe-inspiring moments in nature. She also enjoys sharing those moments with others through her work. “I identify the essence of the moment, what it is I’m responding to emotionally, and that becomes the inspira- tion for the photograph,” she said. “It is my hope that peo- ple feel something, that ‘a-ha’ moment, when they view my images.” McIntosh called herself a “serious amateur photog- rapher” during a 2011 inter- view. Since then, she retired as the special services coor- dinator/school psychologist with the Pendleton School District and continues to focus on developing her pho- tography business. She fi rst gained rec- ognition for her work in 2012, receiving the Jac- queline Brown People’s Choice Award during the Open Regional Photography Exhibit presented by the Arts Council of Pendleton. Since then, she has won numer- ous awards throughout the region. Also in 2013, Pend- leton’s new St. Anthony Hos- pital commissioned seven of McIntosh’s photographs, including “Highlights,” a large canvas shot of the set- ting sun on the foothills of the Blue Mountains.
