The Theme This Month Was "Feet"
This month was our first ZOOM meeting, it was great to see all those who attended. Once a few "bugs" were worked out it went very well. Our thanks to Lola and Steve who ran the meeting.
Our judge this month was Dave Coleman.

After graduating from Youngstown State University, in Ohio, David Coleman embarked on a career in arts education which spanned over 40 years. During that time he taught drawing, painting, printmaking, and photography to students of all ages. Along the way, he completed a Master’s degree in education at Augusta College in Georgia, and garnered awards in drawing, painting, printmaking, and photographic art which is now his major focus.

After selling all of his photographic darkroom equipment, many years ago, David now uses only digital technology in creating his art. Generally, he manipulates his original photograph using various photo-editing software programs to improve the composition or to add a painterly look. Many of his works are composite photographs, made up of several disparate images to create what he calls a “new reality”. Dave also likes to work in series, exploring a number of views of the same subject.
Dave's work has been exhibited at the Butler Institute of American art in Youngstown, Ohio, the Wickenden Gallery, Cleveland OH, Quincy Arts Center, Quincy IL, and the Tubac Center of the Arts in Tubac, AZ. Closer to home, he had shown at the Saint Louis Artists Guild, Framations Gallery and Foundry Art Centre (Saint Charles, Mo), Des Peres Hospital (Des Peres, MO), and Saint Charles Community College which invited him to show his work in the 2015 SCC Invitational, and, most recently, in Brooklyn, New York, at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalition (2017), and was invited to exhibit at the Foundry Art Centre during it’s annual “Gala” (2017).
Dave now spends much of his time at “Disparate Images”, the studio located in the Fine Art Photography Gallery at the Hub on Canal, New Smyrna Beach Florida.
