Ebb and flow at Middle Street Gallery

The Middle Street Gallery in Washington is pleased to announce that member artist Joyce Harman will show her waterrelated photographs at the gallery from May 8 through June 13. Other members of the artists’ cooperative will show works there as well.

“Water is everywhere,” Harman says. “It connects all life; without it there is no life. As a photographer I find that water in one of its many forms is a feature in many of my photographs. This exhibit can only begin to touch on the many ways water is present in the landscape.”

Her photographs include, for example, views of a beautiful snowy field near Sperryville, a dramatic West Va. waterfall, and four ducks on a sunlight-dappled ocean surface. Harman, a Virginia master naturalist and master photographer as well, offers this about herself: “I have been photographing all my life, starting as a child sitting on a high chair in the darkroom. Now with the ‘digital lightroom,’ the toxic chemicals are gone but the joy of creating photographs never ends. As a member of Old Rag Gallery and now Middle Street Gallery I have been bringing images from around the world to Rappahannock County for many years.”

The Middle Street Gallery, a 501(c)3 non-profit cooperative, is in a spring membership drive. For information about membership applications, see https://www.middlestreetgallery.org/about.html.
