TITLE: Dancescapes
"Dancescapes"
I respond to the visual world through my years as a dancer and photographer. So, it’s only natural for me to be inspired by the beauty that surrounds us. "Dancescapes" is an exploration of the fluid grace and intricate choreography found in the natural world. The Hosta leaves, weathered by time and the elements, remind us that even in their fragile moments, there is elegance and strength. They become dancers in their final act, performing a symphony of motion and light offering moments of exquisite artistry.
AUTHOR: Jacqui Turner (United States)
I am a Fine Art Photographer residing in Monterey Bay. My work consists of abstracts, surrealism, still lifes, landscapes, architecture, and portraits. I strive to create works of art that exhibit beauty, timelessness, and meaning.
My photography has been nourished by my career as a dancer/choreographer. Engaging in the elements of shape, form, design, light, and emotion, empowers me to express reflections of our experience of reality.
As I pick up my camera, a creative evolution begins. Approaching the natural world with awe and wonderment, I am transported. My photographs express what I am feeling within, what I am drawn to, what touches me, then I frame it, and the final interpretation is left up to the viewer.
I am a longtime member of the Center for Photographic Art, Carmel, CA and ImageMakers of Monterey, in which I was Director for 6 years. I also teach photography and art to youth, and have been a photography assistant for several local photography workshops over the years. My work has been displayed at the New York Center for Photographic Art, A. Smith Gallery, SE Center for Photography, Fujifilm House of Photography, PH21 Gallery, RI Center for Photographic Art, Center for Photographic Art, Praxis Gallery, All About Photo, What Will You Remember?, Black Box Gallery, Pacific Grove Art Center, Color Awards, ArtVale Gallery, Alvarado Gallery, Homescapes, Carl Cherry Center, Spider Awards Online Exhibits, Triton Museum Online Exhibit, Merit Award Spotlight Award winner with Black and White Magazine(Issue #162) and other venues.
