Susan Keiser A'83

Beacon, NY — Garage Gallery presents an exhibit of Susan Keiser’s “Frozen Beauty” as part of the BEACON OPEN STUDIO weekend.

Keiser photographs flowers caught between rapidly thawing sheets of ice and flowing water. As bubbles are released and move with the current, they bounce off the petals in an intricate dance. Once alive and growing, she captures their frozen, reanimated beauty.

July 20–21, Sat/Sun 12–6pm

Opening Reception, July 20th, 4–6pm
1⁄2 block north of Main Street on N. Elm St.
