Leaving Traces: Diving From the Nest Photography
Exhibit
Leaving Traces: Diving From the Nest Photography
Exhibit
Sertoma Arts Center, Raleigh
February-March 2012
Exhibit Reception: February 5, 2012, 2:00-4:00pm
 Enjoy the natural and
outdoor photography of Megan Cutter,which will be on display at the Sertoma Arts Center in February 2012.
Megan comments, “My photography reflects on the
preciousness of our land and wildlife, and invites the community to contemplate
the beauty of nature’s cycles in their own lives. Even in the darkest times of
uncertainty and loss, there is innate beauty that humanity has to offer each
one of us. For me, it is important to remember our stories, our history and our
beginnings as we forge ahead, soaring through uncharted lands.
Last year, I spent much of the summer connecting and assisting family and friends in Tuscaloosa as they recovered from the devastating tornadoes in April. Ironically, I had an art show in Tuscaloosa in honor of mother, who was a local artist in Tuscaloosa who had passed away in 2001. In June of 2001, during the time of her passing, we had a mother/daughter show- Leaving Traces that intertwined her art work and my photography. Many friends in Raleigh asked if I was showing my artwork here, and I’m so excited that for the month of February, my pieces from this show will be at Sertoma- and I hope to share the beauty and power of nature with you!"
Reception will include refreshments and tentative entertainment by Jordan Okrend.
