Director of Art on Campus Linda Cassel said, “SFCC is very fortunate to present this exhibition, which is co-curated by Sage Paisner and Laurie Tümer. The two distinguished photographers are also dedicated instructors at the college.” Paisner is the lead faculty member for the Photography program. Tümer is a long-time adjunct faculty member who has taught many art history and photography classes.
The 12 exhibiting fine art photographers in the exhibition are Marilyn Conway. Steve Fitch, Sondra Goodwin, Elsa Lopez, Doris Page, Sage Paisner, Janet Russek, Isabel Winson-Sagan, Sharon Stewart, Nancy Sutor, Laurie Tümer and Sylvia Ernestina Vergara.
Laurie Tümer, who developed the concept for the exhibition, said, “Each artist offers a unique take on the home garden—from dinosaurs and neon signs that blend into the landscape to home gardens that feed the artists and their community. We find peace in our home gardens and in pictures of them. In these perilous times, those who care for their home gardens and who are artists cultivate hope, tenacity, and joy in the face of heartache—qualities that have always been essential for human survival.”
A virtual catalog, which will include biographies and artist statements, will be accessible through a QR code prominently displayed at the exhibition.
The Visual Arts Gallery in the Fine Arts Center is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information about the exhibition or the gallery, contact Art on Campus Director Linda Cassel via email at linda.cassel@sfcc.edu or call 505-428-1501.
