and light using close observation and technical manipulation. Through their
art they uncover the essence of things, what lies beneath what is seen on the
surface.

will be held on September 23rd from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
This exhibit is funded in part by a grant from FotoFocus.
The YWCA Women’s Art Gallery is located on the second floor of the YWCA,
898 Walnut Street (on the corner of 9th and Walnut), downtown. Gallery
hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., or by special

- Fran Carlisle, a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography, has
been featured in many publications and galleries including Arts Across
Kentucky, Dragonfly Gallery in Austin, Texas and the Sheraton Hotel
Red Contemporary Art Gallery in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
- Linda Gillings finds inspiration in the ordinary. Familiar sights such as
a reflection or light moving through a room can reveal shapes, color,
shadows, negative and positive space evoking moods, mystery and
discovery. She uses intentional blurring, shallow depth of field and
post production treatments to transform her images.
- Cristina Gutierrez' nude series uses no professional models, but reveals
a positive image of women's bodies in a natural, loving and embracing
state. She is inspired by Renaissance and Baroque Italian sculpture and
their strong use of balance, form and softness of flesh when portraying
immortals. Her work portrays perfection in mortal bodies of all types.
- Ainsley Kellar strives to connect to the raw elements of the image itself
without filters or Photoshop. She seeks out the world hidden within the
everyday. Her work has been recognized by National Geographic and
Photo District News Magazine among others. She received Cincinnati
Chamber Orchestra's inaugural Rising Star Award for Arts Excellence
and Advocacy.
- Nancy Willman captures textures, the temporary two-dimensional
surfaces that shift in the light, to reveal new hues, shades and palettes.
She uses closely observed texture to communicate the essence of the
places she visits. Her work has been featured the Royal Shakespeare
Company of London-England Dayton, the Dayton Museum of Art, and
the ADC Gallery among others.
