Photograph of ducks in New Zealand
River water churning downstream from a waterfall in Greenland

I'm happy to participate for the third year in a row in the annual group exhibition at the Gascoine Gallery in Monson, Maine. This year's edition, Naiad: Flow, opened June 20 and runs through the end of 2026, with works by 21 artists on the theme of rivers. Gallery director Jemma Gascoine chose two of mine from opposite ends of the world — Greenland and New Zealand, both of which happen to have been taken in past summers. Mine are the ones in black frames on the left side of the long wall in the photo below with an additional larger version displayed beside them.

From Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, where I've been working on a long-term project, is a photograph of the outflow from a waterfall that gallops down a river carrying meltwater from the Greenland ice sheet in midsummer. The other photograph, which I've never exhibited before, was taken during austral summer in New Zealand in January 2016, while hiking a Milford Track, an encounter with a pair of rarely seen ducks, an endangered species known as Whio. Sometimes called Blue Ducks, they are a beloved bird in New Zealand. The dappled light of the shaded upland stream reminds me of an Impressionist painting.

Both photographs are for sale in the gallery. More information.
