Tree Bridge

Horse

Double Shots

Flowers Sprinkled

 

Artist: Lynda Potter

“I started taking photos in 2006 when my friend’s mother let me use her
camera. I decided to take pictures of her and her family, from
there, it sprung into an ability to capture things that make me stop
and admire their beauty, from trees and flowers to buildings, bridges
and of course people. All of which fascinate me. I have no
professional training, not yet anyway and I have only had the pleasure
of using digital camera’s intended for personal use. I use a few
programs for digitally enhancing my photographs and any weird grains,
blurs or colors are all intended and hopefully inspire someone else as
well.”

Daulphins

Artist: Robert Martin
Robert Martin is a PA native who was diagnosed with schizophrenia while incarcerated in the early 1980’s. Through years of struggle, he began to find his own voice through writing. In the mid 90’s, Robert began to experience remission and, away from the heavy medications, to find a peace in his life. It was then that he turned to first sketching and then painting to express his newfound sense of self. Robert describes the creative process as a discovery of color, detail and direction. At times, he feels like the brush “take him along for the ride.” Robert’s greeting cards were first a means of giving love and thanks to family and friends for their love and support. Now others can enjoy his original art, made “just for you!”
