The Lynwood Artists Gallery features wildlife photography by Artemisia Blankenship.
Blankenship became passionate about photography while pursuing a career in fashion. Wildlife became one of her favorite subjects. She greatly enjoys photographing the animals she sees while taking long walks and views the images with a race of excitement, becoming truly lost in time discovering the magical beauty of every different species. She feels that the most meaningful way to capture the divine spirit and essence of wildlife and honor its existence on our planet is by sharing her images with others. Her favorite places to shoot are in the Florida Everglades, the coastal regions of North and South Carolina and the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
The Lynwood Artists Gallery is curated by Lynwood Artists, an organization for practicing artists in the Martinsville-Henry County area. Its members share a desire to stimulate understanding and enjoyment of fine art and the artistic process, while providing area artists with opportunities to exhibit and further develop their talents.
