Aegis Gallery to fill with garden images, lavender
Now through Sept. 24, prolific photographer Nancy Jo Lopp is the featured artist at Aegis Gallery, 14531 Big Basin Way in Saratoga. The Santa Cruz Mountains resident has been a photographer for 25 years and teaches workshops in the Polaroid emulsion transfer process, which she has perfected to create distinctive, ethereal images of the natural world, especially flowers.
The exhibit also includes photographic portraits of flowers and fruits, most of which are grown in Lopp's garden, as well as lavender photographs complemented by hand-arranged baskets, bundles and topiaries of the fragrant herb. Lopp and her husband maintain their own lavender fields on their mountain property.
A reception takes place Sept. 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. Lopp will also be on hand Sept. 3, at 2 and 4 p.m. to demonstrate Polaroid emulsion. All events are open to the public. For more information, call the gallery at 408.867.0171, or Lopp at 408.353.4257.
