Local photographer remembers summer breezes
This never-ending winter took a two hour hiatus at the Victoria Park Senior Centre on February 20th, 2008. The Fergus Horticultural Society was taken back to those warm spring and summer breezes. Thelma Beaubien, an accomplished local photographer, teacher and visual artist. presented "Symphony of Colour - An Audio Visual Presentation".
Beaubien has worked extensively in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, focusing on natural images. Her breathtaking photographs encouraged viewers to seek out the natural beauty in our landscapes. She has received numerous awards for her photography in local, provincial and national competitions. Her images have been published in magazines including Canadian Camera and Nature.
Beaubien’s, digital images were expertly mixed in an outstanding slide and music show. The breathtaking colours of spring bulbs and other blooms brought back those memories of the season past. Her work with lupins is especially noteworthy. Finally, the image montages, whereby two images are placed together, made a creative composition of a rusted 1954 Chevrolet and lichen, simply stunning.
Be sure to mark your calendar, for our March 19th meeting. Gil Stelter, an accomplished Daylily expert will be our guest. Admission free. Visit our Website for more details. http://www.gardenontario.org/site.php/fergushs(2008-03-02) |
