Three photographers share their work at Gallery 14 in Hopewell in simultaneous exhibits each on view from Saturday, June 21, through Sunday, July 20. Meet-and-greet artist talks take place Sundays, June 29 and July 13, at 1:30 p.m.
Below is a statement from each artist on their approach and vision for their exhibits.
“Imaginary Landscapes” by Barbara Warren: Some of my favorite subjects to photograph are landscapes, abstracts, patterns and textures. Due to covid and personal injuries, my ability to pursue landscape photography has been limited in the last few years. So I’ve turned to creating my own imaginary landscapes. These landscapes are created by combining photography with traditional collage techniques. I create the collage elements using my own painted papers and my own printed photographs of abstracts and yes, landscapes.
I create both traditional collages mounted on cradle boards as well as photographs matted and framed. I often photograph the collage after the first layer of papers have been laid down. I then finish the collage in the traditional manner, but also create a photographic variation by adding elements and layers in Photoshop to create a print version.

“Narratives in Nature” by Jill Mudge: I consider myself a fine arts photographer and I enjoy taking photos of landscapes, nature, wildlife, and equine photography. I am active with local photography clubs and enjoy staying current with new ideas. I am a member of NANPA, Gallery 14, Princeton Photography Club, Garden Club of Princeton and Arts Council of Princeton.

“Still Life Photos +” by Scott Hoerl: My award-winning photography is a product of a lifelong interest in the arts. A native of Delaware, my artistic journey began in my late teens in Vienna, Austria where I studied classical music and where my eye was first drawn to the architectural marvels of Europe that have become a theme of my photography. Those early years also instilled a life-long obsession with travel.
‘Still Life Photos +’ features many of my Still Life’s, including various flowers, plants and items I have collected on morning walks with my wife. I especially relish creating textured backgrounds to compliment these images. I have a fascination with shapes, shadows, and reflections which will also be a part of this exhibition.
