First Friday ARTWalk @ Purple Cow Vineyards

Join us here at the Purple Cow Vineyards every First Friday of the month year round (except January) from 5pm to 9pm as we host a new artist each month.

This month we are featuring photography by Brenda Somes. In Brenda's Words, "The frustration of photography is in that one can only capture the singular sense of sight, yet the photographer while creating the image, is aware of all the senses.
When she stands at the ocean as the sun hangs low in the sky, her mind's image includes the salty air, the diminishing warmth of day and chill on the breeze of the approaching evening. The call of sea birds and crash of waves are part of the image too. Altogether, the senses create an emotional image that sight alone cannot capture.
In her work, Brenda Somes artistically builds on her photographic images to recapture the emotional tug created by an image comprised of all the senses.
In 2006 Brenda adopted her signature "chromatic" style of producing work on a metallic base--either metallic paper or aluminum--as she found the play of light of the substrate contributed to the emotional presence of the work.
"My goal is not to document a scene, but rather to capture the sense of being in that moment; being in that scene."

We will be offering a First Friday Wine Tasting Flight and having a great time all night.
