Art Show & Sale - WALK INTO GREEN: Nature In The City. Photos By Alice Briesmaster - Origo Books

April 22, 2011 - PRLog -- Origo Books Gallery is showcasing a selection of photographs by local visual artist ALICE BRIESMASTER.

These photographs were taken mostly in the green, flower-full St. James Cathedral Park, ALICE's own sanctuary. She captured nature as she see it, in an immediate way, with no special camera settings or lenses. These flowers and trees and birds simply ARE.  Bursting with life, intricately designed, in glorious colour.  We all need at times to “walk into green”, to feel renewed, alive.

The colour of the heart chakra, of balance and harmony, GREEN soothes and relaxes the body with its healing energy, which those of us in cities are starving for. We are living beings surrounded by steel and glass, concrete and plastic. When we walk into green spaces it refreshes our spirit, and we find momentary sanctuary from our busy urban lives.

ALICE BRIESMASTER was born in the U.S, and now lives in the vibrant St. Lawrence Market area. After retirement she renewed her lifelong interest in the visuals arts, painting landscapes at Avenue Road Arts School and George Brown College. She calls herself a work in progress, developing her skills in capturing subjects reflecting her love and deep appreciation for nature.
