"The love of nature draws me outdoors. The thrill of seeing a bird in flight, the beauty of a flower or a deer feeding in my backyard has drawn me to photography as a means of capturing that event or moment in time. The challenge is to present the subject to its best advantage by carefully selecting the best background and composition available without disturbing the surrounding environment. A review of my portfolio has shown that my favorite subject is floral, but the challenge of capturing a bird in flight comes in as a close second. I also enjoy the post processing of the image and showcasing it through the use of PS, NIK or Topaz filters and then choosing the correct paper to print it. In summary, I enjoy capturing a wide variety of subjects, the company of good friends during the search and the pride in the result. Being able to share my passion keeps me in the constant pursuit of a new and more unique images."
-- Patricia Brundage
Patricia's photographic techniques brings the subject to another level. By capturing that moment in time, the image is alive. Life becomes still and that one moment is held in one place forever. The clarity, the preciseness, the crispness eludes to the perfection of Mother Nature. The life of each flower, each scene is held in the palm of Patricia's hand, literally.
The camera, an inanimate object, becomes Patricia's canvas with pallet and brush or her paper and pencil as she creates her works. The control of this object is an art in of itself combined with Patricia's eye for seeing and envisioning in a split second of time the masterpiece that was placed right in front of her. As if she has a connection and is one with Mother Nature and her creations allowing each masterpiece to be captured in that moment of time being forever held in safe keeping.
Capturing the brilliance of colors,
the velvety softness of flowers' petals,
the defining of each tree and their leaves,
the mist that hangs like a sheer curtain over a window is a technique, an art that all photographers try to master. Patricia has that uncanny ability to accomplish it and it is shown in each of her works. No one piece is better than the other.
When seeing her work a gasp will come over you. Questions will begin to rise to the surface. . . .and you can get the answers to those questions by joining us for Patricia's Exhibit Reception on Thursday, November 21st beginning at 6:30 pm when you will meet Patricia. Ask her those questions. . . .she will answer them.
Do join us! It is the night of Walnut Beach Art Stroll.

"Joyce Densmore a Jewelry Engineer"
"My work background is chemical and mechanical engineering, but I've always had an artistic side to balance my engineering - whether it was sewing, smocking, painting porcelain dolls, watercolors, or designing jewelry. With my jewelry, I started working mainly with pearls. I love the organic look and feel of different types of pearls mixed with just about any stone. I branched out to working with copper, brass and sterling after taking a metal-smithing class - cold working metal -- bending, hammering, cutting, rolling (I have this very cool rolling mill!) - I find that metal work is a good blend of art and engineering."

"Tiger's Eye" - by Joyce Densmore
Even though Joyce has a rigid scientific background, her engineering abilities have created jewelry that is elegant yet precise, has an air of sophistication yet methodical, and can be casual yet orderly. You can see her mind working as you put on the strand of pearls, or the "waves" she creates out of copper and sterling silver using iridescent iris tube beads accenting the piece. Her choice of hand carved bone designs add that exquisite oriental flavor to some of her works.
"Sign of the Winter Palace" - by Joyce Densmore


"Gold Reflections" -by Joyce Densmore
As she chooses what beads, whether faceted tiger eye or faceted onyx, she wants to use her analytical minds eye begins to flow from a mathematical formulae to the fluidness of design. Methodically placing each bead on the wire, without thought, creating a piece of jewelry that catches your eye. Some balance equally, some balance asymmetrically all on purpose but yet without thought as the analytical envelopes the flow converging to form on unique yet sublime piece.
"Gia's Gold" - by Joyce Densmore

Joyce has an old world stature about her, with that she carries a sophisticated air that flows when she enters a room. It is that sophistication which is seen in her work, the impeccable, precise tooling that completes each piece.
Joyce Densmore is exhibiting her work at SoBoBo until the end of November. If you truly don't know what gift to get someone, perhaps you should stop in, see her work. You will know her unique, yet sublime designs and it is guaranteed you will not know which one to choose.
SoBoBo located at 42 Naugatuck Avenue, Milford is opened Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from Noon to 6 pm.
Join us on Thursday, November 10th as we celebrate the last Art Stroll of 2011. The opening reception at Firehouse Gallery begins at 6:00 pm.
