Beyond the Sea – Photographs of the British Seaside

See unique images of the English seaside as you’ve never seen it before as photographer (and Inwood resident) Kathleen Holloway evokes a bygone era of beach huts, deck chairs, Punch & Judy shows, and ice cream under gray, brooding skies.

Artist Statement

After marrying my husband, Clive, in 2016, I visited his family in England, and traveled around the south coast, capturing snapshots of life and nature in the beautiful county of Dorset.

My photographic style blends well with the tradition of the British seaside. The vibrant colored doors on beach huts against gray skies, the sharp lines of the roof peaks, and graphic striped deck chairs that dot the rocky shores all help create a fairy tale world of yesterday. 

Adding layers of encaustic wax to my photographs adds to the vintage feel of the work. Encaustic, or painting with wax, has been around since the ancient Greeks who used wax and colored pigments to paint funeral portraits as tribute to the departed. Layering encaustic wax over photographic images gives each piece a translucence, with added depth and texture enhancing the photos. It also provides an archival quality to the photos.

Biography

The daughter of a commercial artist, Kathleen Holloway grew up with an appreciation for multiple art forms including painting, drawing, and photography. 

Taught the basics by her father, her passion for cameras and film grew. Kathleen studied photography at junior college then continued her education at The Art Institute of Seattle, WA. Additional study was pursued through workshops and portfolio reviews with some of the leading photographers in the fine art field. She went on to pursue a career as a photo editor in publishing and network television and has now been in this field for over 25 years. 

Fusing traditional techniques with modern elements, Kathleen shoots black and white film then digitally enhances them to give the impression of a hand tinted landscape or coats them in encaustic medium to give the image more depth. She has traveled throughout Europe, the U.S., and Japan seeking out moments that excite her. 

Ms. Holloway currently lives in Inwood, works in midtown, and loves New York City.

Artist Statement 

As a street photographer, I like to capture moments that we often overlook as we go about our daily lives. It’s so easy to forget what is around you instead of pause, observe, and absorb. As a Bronx native and a member of the Washington Heights and Inwood community, I find that it is incredibly important to capture and appreciate these moments, knowing how much our spaces are changing and evolving, before they become distant memories.

Color Me on Fire – Art Works by Shannon Kelly

COLOR ME ON FIRE
Art Works by Shannon Kelly

Shannon Kelly was born in a small Kentucky town (people to cow ratio 1:1) but escaped to the Northeast after graduating college. After a stint stage managing in the beautiful Berkshires of western Massachusetts, she moved to NYC and began working at a talent agency.
Shannon took up photography well over a decade ago. She loves travelling and shooting landscapes and nature. She gets highly irritated whenever she sees something she’d like to photograph but doesn’t have her camera with her. Shannon lives in Inwood, which is a bit of a photographer’s paradise due to its gardens, parks, salt marsh, and abundant wildlife.
Shannon’s work has been exhibited at Inwood Gourmet, Kuro Kirin, and Inwood Art Works events. She also recently had a piece in the Medicine Wheel series at Bruce’s Garden in Inwood. Later this month she is providing an artwork gallery for a JCCA-sponsored conference on child exploitation.

All framed prints are for sale for $40 each. Contact info@inwoodartworks.nyc

Fine Art Photography Panel Discussion

Inwood Art Works and American Society of Media Photographers New York (ASMPNY) presents a Fine Art Photography Panel Discussion, with moderators Bruce Katz and Aaron Simms. Panelists include ASMPNY photographers: Liam Alexander, Stephen Mallon, and Barry Rosenthal.

A wide-ranging discussion will cover the artists’ work, experiences dealing with exhibitions, marketing, working with commercial galleries, non-traditional exhibitions, collectors, institutions, and networking in the photo community of New York.

Elevated Lines

The New York City subway system is both the lifeblood and the bane of a New Yorker’s existence. Serving 5.7 million customers a week, the subway traverses all 5 boroughs of the city. Built at the turn of the 20th century, much of the system is above ground (The EL) and cuts through the heart of NYC’s working class neighborhoods.

Viewed from the EL platform edge, one can see the city’s discordant mix of old and new and the ever present renewal/decay/transition of its neighborhoods. Vestiges of 1900s New York remain mixed with new development, gentrification, and sometimes abject neglect. Residential, retail, and industrial exist side by side — sometimes all within the span of one subway stop. This project presents a visual survey of the working class city as it stands today.
