Gail Jackson’s ‘Kind Nature’ Photography featured through Nov. 2
Northcoast Artists Gallery is pleased to present their October show, featuring the work of gallery member, Gail Jackson. The show is titled “Kind Nature” Photography by Gail Jackson. In her artist’s statement, Gail says, “I am always aiming for cheerful and bright images! I enjoy sharing and showing local wildlife, nature photography that’s captured on the Mendonoma Coast. I have the best time being out in nature following feathers, rainbows, a feeling or a breeze. I have met many talented local photographers and I feel fortunate to learn from them. Staying creative is important for all of us. Natural treasures surround us on the coast, and there is always a chance you’ll find something golden or special. I share my pictures to cheer people up, to cheer them on, to remind them of what they can find on an adventure, and to hearten people to keep going. Everyday brings changes; even beaten paths can lead to new experiences.” For more of Gail’s work, visit GailyImages.com.
