Upper Gallery Exhibit:
“Color, Form and Texture of Trees”

October 1, 2010 Ongoing - Open Daily 10am-4pm

Featuring the work of artist Jim Smith, owner of Blue Sterling Nursery in Bridgeton, NJ and Creations of Light Photography located in San Diego, CA. As owner of Blue Sterling, Smith became intrigued with photographing unusual plants that developed into a tremendous passion which continues to this day. This exhibit is a collection from years of world travels to photograph the amazing diversity and beauty of trees. Images include landscapes with broad vistas to wondrous close-ups, highlighting the incredible colors, different forms and unusual textures found in nature. Smith’s love of conifers (especially dwarf varieties) and Japanese maples is clearly seen in these selections.
