Art Reception, Friday, October 9
From 5–7pm, the public is invited to attend a reception featuring the photography of Miriam Dunn, Carol Kraus, and David Levene.
Peterborough-based photographer Miriam Dunn, whose work is inspired by her love of travel, culture, and nature, transports viewers to places near and far, inviting them to experience different cultures. She finds beauty in the vibrant colors and diverse landscapes she encounters around the world and locally, capturing moments that evoke emotion and connection. Recent exhibits includeThe Healing Arts Gallery at the Monadnock Hospital in Peterborough, NH, a solo show at The Optimist Cafe in Jaffrey, NH. Miriam is a founding member and current board member of The Blue Fern Gallery in Peterborough, NH.
Carol Kraus has been taking photos for 60 years. She started with a Kodak “Brownie” and graduated to a SLR(single lens reflex) camera in college. Her goal has always been to capture moments in time, either with people or in the natural world. Lately, fall in southern New Hampshire has captured her attention.
David Levene of Dublin can trace his photography back to childhood. His father repaired 35mm Nikkormat film cameras for his family to use, and built a darkroom at home to develop Kodak Tri-X. The real awakening happened at the dentist where he studied the walls covered in black-and-white travel photographs, and promised himself: “I'm going to do that too someday, assuming I survive the drilling.” The Nikkormat went everywhere with him: rock concerts in the 1970s, bicycle and camping tours across New England, and family gatherings. He studied b&w darkroom technique and Lightroom editing at the Maine Media Workshops, and made the move to digital. But he’s still loyal to the Nikon camera that has accompanied him around the world on birdwatching trips and wildlife safaris, and back home, where he finds just as much joy in the details of his homegrown garlic, dahlias, family, and beloved pets.
The exhibit runs October 7 - November 5, and is available for viewing and purchase during Dubhub open hours and by appointment. For more information about these artists, please visit our website, or come meet them at our reception!
