In the Theatre Lobby Gallery: “How Do I Know You?” by Pam Lowe

Pam has worked in textiles and improvisational quilt-making since college, and throughout her public health nursing career. Since relocating to southwest Florida in 2014, she has been painting (watercolor and acrylics/mixed media) as well as building a body of work in printmaking.

The challenges of living with dementia (such as Alzheimer’s disease), or taking care of a loved one with dementia or post-stroke aphasia, can be incredibly painful for family members and caregivers. In this monoprint series, to portray her own family’s experiences, and to stimulate deeper discussion, Pam explores such abstract concepts as increasing word loss, confusion, fear, loss of independence, and personality changes, in visual form.

In the Member’s Gallery: The Member Photography Club

We’re excited to present our photography club’s inaugural Members’ Showcase, where each photographer reveals their unique vision through 1-5 of their favorite pieces. This event is a celebration of our diverse talents and interests, offering a glimpse into the personalities and passions of our members.

Through this showcase, we aim to highlight the variety of our collective creativity, from stunning landscapes and intimate portraits to abstract artistry. It’s an opportunity for each of us to say, “Hey, we’re here!” sharing our stories and perspectives with the club and the wider community.

Come explore the showcase, learn about the artists behind the lens, and draw inspiration from the breadth of our club’s talents. This is not just an exhibition; it’s a statement of our presence and a testament to our passion for photography.
