“Morocco – In Living Color” captures impressions of the people, culture, landscape and architecture of Morocco.  The exhibit leads the viewer on a diverse journey through Morocco, from the exotic markets of Marrakesh, to the narrow alleys of the ancient scholarly city of Fez, to native Berber villages, and on a camel safari in the Sahara desert.  Maureen’s images of the Moroccan people capture the cultural diversity of this fascinating country.  The photographs have been printed using a pressurized heat process on pearlescent metallic medium which intensifies the beauty of the colors.  The presentation on high quality natural canvas allows the images to be displayed without a layer of glass separating the viewer from the image, thereby heightening the sensation of being present in the picture.  There will be an opening reception for this exhibit on Wednesday, June 4th from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.  Please come by the gallery this month to enjoy a lovely display.
