Instinct
Donna Cobb

Artist statement: Observing this wren family during covid isolation has been a gift. From mating to nourishing offspring this little bird family brought joy and happiness to my world. The deep instinct to feed and protect was memorizing to witness. Please enjoy!

Nature's Heart
Donna Cobb
Artist statement: For me, photography is the momentary awareness of light, color and expression. From the time I was a preteen with my first instant Kodak camera I have snapped and documented life events. Recently after losing a child I picked up my camera and immersed myself in the garden. Hidden inside petals and foraging on morning dew I found this gorgeous lady bug. The heart shape visible on her oval body was a wink from above. The realm of tiny worlds outside both nourished and healed my grief.

Misty Meadow Morning
Michael Corthell
$295.00
Artist statement: My art involves capturing an image with a camera, and then deliberately processing that image, until there is a sense of harmonic alignment with both the original object and my own personal witnessing experience. The final result (I would like to think) is a furthering of the original Universe’s creation process, and (perhaps in some small way) an expansion of the object’s potentiality of Being.
