I’m thrilled to share that my photo titled “CONTEMPLATING THE FUTURE” has been chosen for the 11th Annual Joshua Tree National Park Art Expo, a prestigious juried exhibition in the California High Desert.
The story of the roadrunner
The photograph captures a unique moment with a roadrunner appearing to gaze into the distance. It’s a special instance I was fortunate to capture. Known for their quick wit and agility, this roadrunner took a pause, seemingly lost in thought.
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of shared curiosity with the bird. What was it pondering as it looked out into the vast desert landscape?
The photo’s foreground features the roadrunner’s shadow, adding an almost 3-dimensional quality to the image, giving it the appearance of a painting.
What is a juried art show?
For those unfamiliar with the term, a juried show is a highly competitive exhibition where artists submit their work for review by a panel of judges. These judges carefully select the pieces that will be displayed. Being accepted into such an exhibition is a significant honor for any artist.
Where is the Joshua Tree National Park Art Expo?
The 11th Annual Joshua Tree National Park Art Expo runs from November 2-26, 2023 at the 29 Palms Art Gallery in 29 Palms, California. The gallery is open Thursdays to Sundays from 11am to 3pm.
The artists’ reception and award ceremony will be held on Saturday, November 4, 2023, from 4-7pm at the gallery.
