North Carolina is home to over 400 native tree species, as well as many invasive varieties. Most days we don’t give the trees in our life much notice. We reap many benefits of the trees around us. They provide shade, stabilize soil, act as marvelous sponges absorbing heavy rainfall, and then slowly releasing it back into the soil, not to mention they sequester CO2, and help generate the oxygen we need to live!
This exhibition highlights their aesthetic beauty, expressed in shape, texture and tone. The collection has come together naturally over years. I have a love for our tall friends, and my lens is often drawn to them on whole or part.
I hope you come away from this exhibition with a new appreciation for our woody neighbors. As you step outside your home, stop and look around. How many trees are your neighbors? Take a moment to get to know them, their shapes, textures, and colors and remember to say thank you for all of the things they do for us.
Here is a small taste to wet your appetite.
