Photography Opening - Realism, Surrealism, and Atmosphere

Boulder Digital Arts invites you to experience "Realism, Surrealism, and Atmosphere" - featuring the photography of Donna Colville, Preston Newell, Ginger Zukowski and Thomas Walsh. Please join us for a Gallery Opening & Reception on Friday, November 4th from 5-8 pm.

Donna Colville. Donna has been primarily influenced by the Impressionist painters Degas, Cezanne, and the California Impressionists. She has studied with a number of artists and photographers including Ned Mueller, John Fielder, Jennifer Spelman, Tim Cooper and Mark Johnson, and has many influences and inspirations. Her formal art education includes college instruction in art history, theater set and costume design. In photography, she generally works with simple compositions and strong color. Donna's main interest has been to capture the world around here with an eye towards simple found beauty. Recently, Donna has begun to focus on black and white photography - she has revisted earlier images and also made new images using only black and white development. This endeavor led to the black and white images in this show.

Preston Newell. Preston is a producer of documentaries for Longmont's Public Access TV Station, Channel 8. He is currently creating a film series called "Behind Closed Doors" which features artists in their studios. Preston states, "I am a Boulder-based photographer who started with a Kodak Brownie camera in grade school and a Polaroid camera in High School." He began to use Canon and Minolta SLR cameras in college, and began to use DSLR Nikon cameras soon after they became available. Since his retirement from the IT worlds of Fiat, Texaco and Boeing, he has pursued his photography hobby, and won 1st & 2nd place awards at the Colorado State Fair. Preston is currently a member of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals), PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and the Nikonians.

Ginger Zukowski. Also known as Virginia Lee Zukowski, Ginger's background in Modern Dance (University of Illinois, Champaign) provides a vital framework for her more recent venture into the visual arts. She strives to use the key elements of space, light, color, pattern and movement to highlight the unexpected within the ordinary. Through photography, she is able to show the viewer something that eyes could not see, but imaginations can ponder. Over the years, Ginger has learned a great deal from teachers like Nevada Wier, Chris Brown and her friends in the Flatirons Photo Club.

Thomas Walsh. Boulder Digital Art's Curator, Thomas Walsh, developed an interest in photography by his teen years, but it wasn't until he was a graduate student of physics that a deep fascination evolved. As a teaching assistant, Thomas was assigned the task of rebuilding a pilfered holography lab and then teaching holography as part of a graduate optics class. The experience gave birth to a passion for the photographic arts. After graduating and working as a physicist for several years, Thomas turned to technical and business writing, as well as travel writing and photography. A bit more than a year ago, Thomas decided to go full-time in the arts. He now specializes in nature photography and portraiture expressive of the human spirit.
