The juried photography exhibition had an open theme showcasing 60 photographs from approximately 40 established and emerging artists with all mediums of photography represented. 
During the opening reception in early October, 1st, 2nd and 3rd places were announced.  First Place was awarded to Stacey P. Morgan for her three Spring landscapes—Other Side of the Pond, Majestic Trunk in Spring, and Fronds First.  All images are from her ongoing body of work entitled “The Four Seasons of Ardrossan” .  The First Place Award grants Ms. Morgan a retrospective, solo, show slated for Spring 2010 in the Olde City gallery.

LIFE SNIPPET:  I love, love, love trees!!  You could say I'm a "down to earth" kind of gal.  That being said, it only makes sence for me to be involved in open space and land conservancy.  I didn't have any images to donate to the Radnor Conservancy's fund raiser a couple of years ago so I offered up a picture of a small Corgi amid a large wooded landscape.  While attending the event, I walked out on the great lawn of the old estate and took one look at the lone sentry, "Majestic Beauty", and it has been calling me back in all of God's different season's.
