Barbara Martin: The full time pursuit of digital photography began for me in 1996 when I retired from a thirty-year career as an elementary school teacher. It is my belief that art is a vital part of the ongoing growth and survival of humanity. To this end, we must all continue to grow, learn, experience, create and share our talents, ideas and skills. This art form has the potential for me to capture the beautiful as well as the lack of beauty in our world. Using state of the art cameras, computers, scanners and printers in my digital darkroom, I am able to create images that I hope will reach out to touch the feelings, imagination and experiences of the viewer
Margaret M. Whalen: Having lived on an island for the first twenty years of my life and at the edge of the sea for forty years, my work reflects a lifetime of images inspired by the sea. I also paint still life and landscapes. I began my work in 1970 using oils; a few years later I tried acrylic polymers and then in 1992, I began to explore the use of my Apple computer to create new images. Since then,the mouse has become my paintbrush; the screen, my canvas. Using brilliant color is exciting for me.
Mary Allison Rylands: I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and lived there when it was a steel-making colossus. The mills, some of them stretching for miles down our rivers, formed an aesthetic for many of us as did the rough environment supporting them. It was apparent in the 1970's that the steel industry was fading from Pittsburgh. I was among many who set forth with camera in hand to record something of what was there. Maine poses many problems for me. It has been exhaustively recorded by marvelous artists and photographers so finding new aspects of its uniqueness is a journey I've barely begun. I continue to use a manual 35mm film camera, though my prints are made digitally. My little bit of work can be seen at Gallery 66 in Blue Hill, Maine and at the Borelli-Edwards Gallery in Pittsburgh, PA.
