Spirit of Place presents the work of Alex Buchanan, Sunny Chapman, R. A. Friedman, Kathleen Moroney, Chris Page, and Mindy Veissid, artists who gently evoke a personal sense of the emotional history contained within a landscape or natural phenomenon. Their respective art works tell us more about the psychic energy and mood of a place than provide a description of an iconic or recognizable locale. The selected artworks provide the viewer insights into how the depicted place or view of nature makes the artist feel just as much as it tells us what it looks like to them. These artistic artifacts reveal facets of the artist's interior life and also carry something of the collective unconscious.

Artist Statement
Artist Statement

I see the world as photographs, pictures framing themselves in moments of time. My intention is to capture the truth of the moment, be it in a movement or an emotion. By following my intuition, I can be true to my photos and to myself.

Movement is a theme that you will find running throughout my photos. Capturing the energy of the movement and of the moment can produce strong feelings and emotions. Movement to me is not only the action itself, but also the reaction to it. A city has various movements and energy, as does a serene still landscape. If one looks close enough, energy in the action or energy within is always present and in motion.
