Aloha … from BethC Gifford raises money for March of Dimes
'Visions of Vermont'
now in Gifford Gallery
RANDOLPH, June 17, 2010 – Nature photographs by Bethel’s Jesse Orr are on display in the Gifford Medical Center art gallery through Aug. 4.
In a show titled “Visions of Vermont,” Orr depicts Vermont landscapes and wildlife.
Orr got his start in photography when his grandparents gave him a digital camera as a graduation gift. He started taking pictures wherever he went, and then he started sharing those photos with family and friends.
“Why don’t you enter your pictures at the Tunbridge fair?” those friends urged.
He did and went on to create “Visions of Vermont” cards for the Bethel Farmers Market. Orr has been a vendor at the Bethel Farmers Market since its inception in 2006.
He enjoys “hometown” showing, he says. In addition to his show at Gifford, Orr’s works are also currently hanging in Bethel at Ketner’s Café. He also participates in local shows at the Bethel Public Library and previously had his works featured at the Frog Hollow Craft Shop in Middlebury.
Orr captures his works while driving to work, touring back roads near his Bethel home, in the air from his grandfather’s plane and walking in the yard, garden and by a pond.
See Orr’s latest show – deemed by some as his best yet – now in the Gifford Gallery. The gallery is located just inside the hospital’s main lobby. Gifford Medical Center is at 44 S. Main St. (also Route 12) in Randolph. Call Gifford at (802) 728-7000 or Volunteer Coordinator Julie Fischer at (802) 728-2324 for more information.
