THE GALLERY AT THE J
Woodland Pride by Patrick Hunter
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
We owe everything we have to the natural world. We wouldn’t have clothes on our backs, food in our stomachs, or shelter without it. When we can respect nature for its gifts, we will in turn respect ourselves and each other more. "WOODLAND PRIDE" is a celebration of nature and life through the lens of the woodland art form. The bold, yet elegant, technicolor line work invites the viewer to realize that everything has spirit and significance. Everything from the smallest seed to the largest tree.
