YAQUINA ART ASSOCIATION ARTIST SHOW – Barbara Irvine Photographer & Donated Art – November 9-22, 2024
PNW Photographer Barbara Irvine “Color is It, for me .”
“My photographs represent nature as it is, and as it isn’t. I shoot with a Canon SLR Digital camera. Approximately half of my show images are unaltered. The rest are manipulated using Photoshop. Combining aspects of one or several images becomes a new expression, with nature still the basis. I do all of my own work including archival ink jet printing (Epson 4000), matting, framing, and selling. I see nature as art. My camera is usually with me, and I tend to be wowed by things that most could pass by. Some photos capture the essence of what I have seen and are printed as is. Others inspire me to alter them in various ways using Photoshop. These I call “Mind Imagery”. They are created in my mind, but they are often seen differently by the other minds viewing them.”
Art Donated
YAA has a very large collection of art from previous members and works that were donated. We started a fund to get an education center building. The building will give us space to teach more classes and offer evening and weekend classes.
The Yaquina Art Association Gallery is located in Nye Beach at 789 NW Beach Drive. Hours of operation are 11 am to 4 pm every day. Interested in becoming a member of the Yaquina Art Association? We offer free classes, too. Please visit our gallery in Nye Beach for more. YAA has been serving over 130 local artists for over 76 years.
