This week, I set up my second-ever public photo display at a local whole foods coop in Duluth, MN. I was selected for this opportunity months ago, so it’s been a long wait. I’m not the most patient of people, so this was very hard!
Unlike with my first display up the North Shore of Lake Superior in Grand Marais, I couldn’t just drop off my images (or my babies, as I like to think of them) and go. This time, I had to figure out how they would be hung. I wasn’t quite prepared for this but would like to think I rose to the occasion. I fell back on a technique I used to use for making informational display boards at work: begin with a major image and work outward.
We began with the largest image, a canvas print of stones leading into Lake Superior, which I call “The Path to Enlightenment.” Then we hung smaller images outside of it. They’re all photos I’ve taken during my meanderings. Some have been featured in this blog. I was pleased with the result, and I loved the faux gray hardwood backing they rest against.
For readers in the area, my display will be up at the Denfeld Coop (4426 Grand Avenue) for the month of November. They are for sale. If you’re interested, my contact info is on an artist statement that’s posted to the right of the images.
If you’d like to see more of my photos, please visit my website and pick a category, or two!

Thank you for your kind words, Diane. We’ll see you next week!
These are awesome! I’m going to tour the art gallery at the co-op!
Thanks, Vickie. My photos will appreciate your company, I’m sure.
Wow, this is so cool!! Your photos are beautiful.
Thank you, Brittany! Your photos are no slouches, either.
Congratulations on your exhibition. That you had to plan your own display allowed you the opportunity to re-experience the art of composition and interplay of those images.
Thank you. Yes, I had not thought of them in a whole design way. It was a good exercise.
Fabulous photos!
Thank you, Dawn! It’s been fun finding a new hobby at this point in my life.
