Art - Photograpy
Item Description
Hoops of Gold shows the hoops that carry the sail up the mast when sails are hoisted on a traditionally rigged schooner. The early evening light creates a beautiful golden glow on the hoops, mast, and rigging. It is part of a photo series of schooners under sail. The photograph is a digital image, printed with archival inks on glossy paper. The 12 x 16 inch image is professionally framed with archival materials to 19 x 23 inches. The gold tone in the frame complements those in the print.
The photographer, Jan Walker, is a life-long artist in many media: photographs, watercolors, clay, words, music, food, and computer interfaces. A Cape Ann resident since 1990, she has pursued self-directed sudies in all of these arts, particularly in watercolors with Cape Ann master teachers Martin Ahearn and Betty Lou Schlemm. She responds most strongly to form, line, and value, the abstract formal properties within the scenes of everyday life. A photographer since the age of 8, she sees striking beauty everywhere and works to capture those moments for all to enjoy.
She is a member of Cambridge Art Association and a photography member of Rockport Art Association. Her work appears in a permanent display at the Mystic Seaport Museum. During her membership in the gallery, she presented several solo shows at Local Colors in Gloucester MA.
