Since inception, the Forum has grown under Nancy’s direction to become the largest group of exhibiting fine art photographers in the state and has now expanded to include the new Digital Arts Group of the NJ Photography Forum. Photographing in the West Coast tradition of her long-time mentor, Ansel Adams, she expresses her own interpretation of the landscape and architecture. Her photographs reveal a love of light, shadow and form in natural and man-made settings. The haunting ruins, magical landscapes, celebrated churches, as well as the obscure are transformed into powerful documentations of the land and humanity’s intrusion into the landscape. The photographs speak to the timelessness of the land, its spirit and the simple, poignant architecture that was inspired and challenged by Nature. Upcoming Classes: TBA
