Featured Artist Exhibition: “The Pine Barrens, Our Wilderness Next Door” Richard Lewis
May 4 @ 10:00 am – June 30 @ 5:00 pm
The Featured Artist in our Community Gallery for May and June is Richard Lewis with his exhibition titled: The Pine Barrens, Our Wilderness Next Door
“If you look closely at this vast expanse of the Pine Barrens, New Jersey’s Wilderness Next Door, you will find beautiful lowland bogs and wetlands, swamps thick with stunning cedar trees, exotic rare plants and animals, and more.
The uniqueness of the Pine Barrens prompted our overcrowded and overdeveloped state to set aside over 1 million acres, or 21% of our land to create the Pinelands National Reserve. It has been my mission for over 20 years to photograph and share the beauty of this special place.“
Artist Bio
Richard Lewis has been a professional and fine art photographer since the 1970’s with a passion for landscapes. He also has an interest in abandoned history, and interesting people. While he travels to find unique landscapes, his favorite location is the New Jersey Pine Barrens. He uses both a professional digital camera, drone, and an iPhone to create his work.
Richard’s inspiration comes from landscape painters and has developed a style he calls “Painting with a Camera”. This involves equal effort in both creating and post processing an image.
Richard is an active photography blogger, lecturer, instructor and conducts workshops in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and other places to help photographers find their unique creative voice. He has also published a book titled “Photographing the New Jersey Pine Barrens, the Ultimate Guide” and has a photograph on a US postage stamp as part of the Battlefields of the American Revolution series.
