Seven-State Biennial Exhibition

I was recent­ly blessed with news of the accep­tance of two wildlife pho­tographs into the 2015 Sev­en-State Bien­ni­al Exhi­bi­tion. The Juried exhi­bi­tion is unique in that it begins Sep­tem­ber 26, 2015 at The Nes­bitt Gallery, locat­ed on the cam­pus of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Sci­ence and Arts of Okla­homa in Chick­asha, Okla­homa and ends on the 31st day of Jan­u­ary, 2016 at the Muse­um of the Red Riv­er in Idabel, Okla­homa. But wait, there’s more… sand­wiched between these two loca­tions the show hangs in Ard­more, Okla­homa at the God­dard Cen­ter from Novem­ber 15, 2015 thru Novem­ber 25, 2015.

It was this very show, back in 2011, that I sold my very first photograph.

The Juror for this com­pe­ti­tion and exhi­bi­tion is inter­na­tion­al­ly known artist James Surls. James is one of the most pre­em­i­nent sculp­tors in the Unit­ed States. His art­work has been seen in over 350 solo, group, muse­um and gallery exhi­bi­tions across the world.

The two pieces that were select­ed for this juried  com­pe­ti­tion are both wildlife pho­tographs (which is most­ly all I do) One cap­tures a Great Blue Heron in flight.  (below). The oth­er pho­to­graph select­ed is of a moth­er Great White Egret watch­ing over her  chicks. (below)

 

 

My hus­band, Steve Miller, was also accept­ed into the show.  His 2 pieces can be see here. www.stevemillerstudios.com
