This exhibit features large scale metal landscape prints of the East Kootenays. Neal Panton writes “How do we experience and make meaning of a particular place? For me I use my camera lens to create connections to a place. Photography nurtures my feeling of belonging in this world. It is this deeper emotional connection that makes these places worth caring about, and that encourages my ongoing stewardship to my natural surroundings. This collection represents my own sense of place.”
Neal is an Award Winning Internationally Recognized Fine Art Photographer. He has been published in more than 25 countries worldwide, has 9 self-published books & catalogues.Opening Reception February 9th from 7pm to 9pm with special musical guest Tyrel Hawke. This is a free licensed event.
