MYSTIC VISION – Photography by Olga Merrill at Sweethaven Gallery
Harbor's Secret
MYSTIC VISION is a collection of photo-art works by Olga Merrill. She uses photography as a tool – like an instrument to make music or a brush for painting – to create an image of her vision, with a dreamy and indirect relationship to external reality.
Some images are essentially representative photography of the world around her that nevertheless dissolve into the wonder of abstract patterns, while others are complex manipulations of the ordinary visual world that use intentional camera movement, multiple exposures, and well planned color palettes to reflect her vision, dreams and feelings.
Merrill’s work has been part of group shows and festivals nationally and internationally, including NYC Center of Photography (USA) and Blank Wall Gallery, (Greece). YourDailyPhotograph.com just announced the selection of Brunswick, Maine artist Olga Merrill to the “YourDailyPhotograph.com Hot 100 of 2021” list for her photographic work, including her image "One and Many", which is part of her show, MYSTIC VISION. Merrill beat 4,500 artists from around the world to take home the prestigious honor.

Light refreshments will be served.

IN MY TRAVELS – "One Blood" — Photography by Greg Nikas
One Blood — Jamaica
IN MY TRAVELS is a collection of photographs by Greg Nikas that puts a smile on his face and brings back fond memories of the trips he was on when they were taken.
“One Blood" was taken in Jamaica while on a stock shoot. Every city and town I went to had open markets that had displays like this, but only one had hats and belts displayed like this, and for me, that was the shot! Luckily, I had a board of tourism driver who took me anywhere I wanted to go plus places he said I just had to see. And because lunch was always on me, he took me to the best local places to eat where I rarely saw any tourists. It was a great week, and I can remember almost every minute of it.
Greg’s work can be viewed at: sweethavengallery.com.
ONLY 5 MORE DAYS!
This show will be on view through November 28th.

IN MY TRAVELS — "Cayman Clouds" – Photography by Greg Nikas at Sweethaven Gallery
IN MY TRAVELS is a collection of photographs by Greg Nikas that puts a smile on his face and brings back fond memories of the trips he was on when they were taken.
“Cayman Clouds" was taken on Cayman Brac the first night we arrived. When we got to our condo, we saw a long boardwalk going out over the water to a gazebo like structure that gave us a great view of the coastline. As the sun was setting, the clouds formed and the suns rays illuminated their edges. It happened very fast and was gone in minutes. So what’s the moral of the story? Keep your camera handy, or you will miss that shot! I’m really glad now that I made the decision to put the camera on my shoulder.
This show will be on view through November 28th,

Santa Fe Face — Santa Fe, New Mexico
IN MY TRAVELS is a collection of photographs by Greg Nikas that puts a smile on his face and brings back fond memories of the trips he was on when they were taken.

Let It Wash Over You
"Let It Wash Over You”
"As I sat on the grassy, still damp banks of a river I had only just met, I was reminded of something my husband used to say. “Let it wash over you.” Every time we came upon something we couldn’t understand in the way a cultural disconnect in our travels, he would say these words. He loved to travel and so do I. Not a vacation type travel but a “let’s pretend we live here” type of travel. Cultural immersion. So here in this image I am immersed in the culture of the woods and the river, hoping to learn a few words of the language and appreciate the beauty as well as the grit.” – Karen Olson

Interior Room — Photography Sculpture by Kare Olson
Interior Room
From the WILDLIGHT Project by Karen Olson
Pigment print on Kozo paper, mulberry paper, and natural fibers.
Available as one of a kind – $125.
"I had a visceral need to make something with my hands. Touch has been an important aspect of forest bathing and I wanted to bring it home, as it were. Spending extended time behind the screen and having touch censored for so long contributed to the need. The act of constructing, deconstructing, and constructing further connected me to the natural cycles of growth and decay. It pulled me in and grounded me. I loved it so much I decided to make it an integral part of my practice." – Karen Olson
