About the Theme - After Life:
One of the many ways that humanity copes with the tragedy of death and mystery of the hereafter, is through its art. Whether celebrating the lives of ancestors, expressing grief, or postulating on the afterlife, many visual artists take on this daunting task with a variety of perspectives based on religion, culture and personal experiences. This exhibit showcases the diverse perspectives portrayed by photographers and digital illustrators. Jurors were George Krause and Carol Watson.

An exhibition of 45 images from three inspiring women photographers: Susan Burnstine (Los Angeles, CA), Carol Watson (Blanco, TX) and Polly Chandler (Austin, TX). Susan’s images from her “On Waking Dreams” series explore that fleeting moment between dreaming and waking—the blurred seconds in which imagination and reality collide. Carol’s work in digital infrared unearths a fairy-tale beauty that can only be found on the borders of visible light and the imagination. Polly’s evocative portraits illuminate the personality of her subjects through her use of selective backgrounds and large format cameras.
This exhibition celebrates the character and mood of the world’s cities. Images selected capture the spirit of urban life as expressed by the people, cityscapes, events, street scenes, street artists, etc.
