1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Art Gallery Announces Cheryl Rau as New Featured Artist
JUPITER, FLORIDA – August 15, 2013 / --- Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very
pleased to announce that fine art photographer Cheryl Rau is the gallery’s newest featured artist.
Cheryl Rau is a mid-life emerging artist who lives on the Southern Coast of Maine. Since 2010, her
work as a documentary/fine art photographer has been selected for numerous regional, national,
and international exhibitions. Key elements of her style are vibrant colors and movement, as much
of her work explores the ideas of impermanence and transformation.
Cheryl found her passion for photography in her 40s when she purchased her first SLR camera.
She explored a wide range of subjects and genres including landscapes, architecture, portraits of
people with their pets, and documentary photo essays. During this developmental stage, she also
began shooting a series of abstract images of reflections on water for fun, as she roamed around
the working waterfront in Portland, Maine with her camera.
As a self-taught artist, she continues to create new images for the “Water Colors” series and has
developed several new bodies of work during the past three years. Earlier this year while
recovering from cornea transplant surgery on her right eye (the one that sees through the camera
viewfinder) and unable to see well enough to shoot for several months, she began experimenting
with digital collage as a way to create new art by combining multiple images shot in past years.
Cheryl has held professional positions in marketing and communications, event management, and
training. She is a graduate of the photography program at the Salt Institute for Documentary
Studies (Portland, ME). She earned a bachelor of arts in Journalism & Communications from Point
Park College (Pittsburgh, PA). Originally from Pennsylvania, Cheryl lived in the Washington, DC
area for 15 years prior to relocating to the Maine coast.
