About Jeffrey Fitzgerald:

“My work is gathering up, building, illustrating, conjuring and refuting.”

Jeffrey Fitzgerald is an established American painter who has exhibited his work nationally. Channeling the sense of a romantic explorer, he composes works that capture rocks, sea and sky with powerful luminosity and polish. The result is deeply sensory – a body of work that reflects and floats alongside nature’s mysteriousness and majesty.

About David Wade:

ARTIST STATEMENT

As a photographer, I think my goal is to perceive and make visible the slow, relentless and barely-seen passage of time, to capture the mystery of the moment, of what is about to happen or what is about to pass, and to collect and preserve meaningful visual artifacts for the future. While much of my work tends to be documentary, I also enjoy making photographs that investigate the boundaries between the real and unreal, the possible and impossible, exploring the thin line that separates the everyday and the imaginary. It’s a little like alchemy; with luck, the untethered, liberated images behave like kites, and give rise to a sense of suspended disbelief, while revealing the magic in the ordinary. My goal as an artist is to free the psyche and re-invent the dream. I want my photographs to inspire and communicate a fresh sense of wonder.
