Angelic artwork on exhibit
Santa Cruz Mountains resident Nancy Jo Lopp is exhibiting a photographic collection of angelic images now through Sept. 22 at Aegis Gallery of Fine Art, located at 14531 Big Basin Way in the Saratoga Village.
The show comprises angels she has photographed in the cemeteries of Great Britain, Ireland and the Bay Area. Most of the angels are part of sculptures that are life-size or larger. Some of the angels are portrayed in standard color photography, while other images were developed through the Polaroid emulsion transfer process, a specialty of Lopp's.
For gallery hours or additional information, call 408.867.0171 or visit www.aegisgallery.com. Information on Lopp is available at www.photographywithfeeling.com.
