Enchanted: A Photo Art Exhibition from Guthy Galleries

April-15-TN-105621770---The Watcher (2)

A solo exhibition by local chiropractor, Dr. Janis Guthy of Guthy Galleries, will be on display at the Tidemark Art Gallery from April 2-25th. Enchanted: A Photo Art Exhibition is a continuation of her phantasmagorical photo art, with this years show centering around the Enchanted Forest. The backgrounds come from photographs she has taken of the natural temperate rain forests, swamps and waters of Vancouver Island. These forests, however, are far from ordinary. Hunched on a tree stump you will meet the Scribe who rules with wisdom and understanding. Bold knights, ogres, princesses, magical horses, mermaids and mystical fish complete the story.

Being a multi-media artist, Dr. Guthy integrates skills of fashion design, sculpture, painting and set design. Debuting at the exhibit is Our Lady of Light, a seven-foot sculpture, her head and body totally covered in gems. She wears a three-tiered skirt in which three hundred crystals hang. Her reflection illuminates a path where you will find the rarest of all treasures. Journey with us to where one moves beyond the boundaries of the senses and the mind leaps beyond time and space.

Dr. Guthy holds two photo shoots per year – the next shoot is coming up May 19th -28th. Please visit her website for further information. www.guthygalleries.ca

Enchanted: A Photo Art Exhibition is available to view Thursday through Saturday from 12-4 pm at the Tidemark Art Gallery from April 2nd through the 25th.
