Jenny, Linda

Linda Jenny brings the frigid north and its awesome nature, wild wolves, and polar bears to life through photography, a love born from years of dog sledding with her husband and two sons. When back home in the more subtle landscapes of the lower 50, Linda turns her searching eye to landscapes and wildlife shots that aim to delight, entertain, and simply awe the observer with the beauty of our natural world. Paintography by Linda Jenny brings a bit of the wild back into our suburbanized world.

An avid photographer since she was introduced to her mother’s Brownie Hawkeye camera, Linda’s work in digital photography is supported by a love for travel, a passion for nature, and a love of the great outdoors.

Linda and Dave reside in lovely Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with their sons David and Joshua and the family Weimaraner, Mr. Deuce, a new and frequent photo subject. Linda is also a frequent contributor to The Bucks County Herald where she is known as River Voice.

Suder, Pauline

Pauline Suder is an international award winning photographer whose interests lie in nature and the great outdoors. Being a frequent traveler, especially throughout the United States and the U.K., her photographs center mainly on wildlife and landscapes.

Pauline Suder’s greeting and note cards are made using her actual photographs, which are encased in top quality holders. The outside of the card can be plain or can be special occasion cards: Happy Birthday, Sympathy, Happy Holidays, Thinking of You, etc. The inside of the cards are always blank. The artist handwrites on the back the location of the scene, and signs the card, indicating that it is her original photography.

The cards are less expensive than those that are mass-produced and sold in stores, and on top of that, they are original works of art!

Lee Muslin has been a fine art photographer for over 30 years beginning when she was a fine art major at the University of Delaware. She has exhibited her photomontages extensively throughout the United States over the last 14 years including 5 solo exhibitions in New York City. Her work has appeared in 22 publications including 2 covers of the magazine Philadelphia Stories and she has been privileged to receive 16 awards.

in 1995, while attending Parsons School of Design for a degree in photography, Lee became fascinated with the mysteries of digital imaging. This process has brought her back to her fine art roots with the creation of images using the computer as her paintbrush. Her photomontages evolve as the layers, blends and collages her original photographs. She is inspired by nature and heightens the impact of the rhythms and patterns of nature in her artwork.

From the time I was a child I was always captivated by light, form and color. My first camera, a Brownie Hawkeye, was a treasured possession. I still have all my old negatives. I began to show some of my work these past few years receiving several Honorable Mentions and then First Place at Art-in-the-Park in West Park, Allentown. I also received First Place in photography at Tinicum Art Festival 2005. In addition my work has been accepted at juried shows in Bethlehem, Pa, Ocean City, NJ and Ocean Grove, NJ.

After completing undergraduate studies at Kutztown University, I began working in the advertising and illustration field but never strayed far from fine art. With beginnings as a painter, I was accustomed to starting with a blank canvas and building the image from the empty canvas – art of addition. As my interest turned to photography, I found myself challenged with the art of subtraction – choosing what should be included and omitted in order to convey meaningful photographs.

I returned to college for a graduate degree in fine art photography. I have been working for the past year on a project I call “The Urban Landscape.” This landscape is the world around me – the fine details that at first glance, are mundane and ordinary. As we look closer we see the interconnection of man and the environment. This coexistence is the theme that runs through my work. I want to allow the viewer to create their own conclusion as they view each image.

John Mikowychok has been an avid 35mm photographer since 1980, and has a background in conservation. His macro photographs are shot using conventional film cameras with an autobellows (a focusing rail and black fabric extendable “box” similar to the old view cameras of the early 1900s). His travels around Pennsylvania as a manager of public parks and a fly fishermen have provided him with a deep appreciation of nature’s beauty, fury and diversity
