Wildlife Photography At The Brookfield Library

BROOKFIELD, CT — Accomplished wildlife photographers Jud Perkins and Pat Duncan will exhibit their work at The Brookfield Library Art Gallery from March 2 - 31. There is an opportunity to meet the artists at a reception on Sunday, March 15, from 3:00 – 5:00 pm. They bring their combined talent for visual artistry, using their cameras to capture unique subjects.

"We don't specialize in one subject over others but allow the location, time of day and subject matter to dictate." said Pat Duncan. "Wildlife photography is especially gratifying as you are constantly trying to capture subjects that don’t pose and may be in flight. One gets great satisfaction from being able to 'freeze' a subject and convey motion at the same time, especially with birds." said Jud Perkins. Their award-winning work has been displayed in galleries all over Connecticut.

The Brookfield Library Art Gallery will be open for dedicated viewing of this exhibit on Fridays from noon to 2:00 p.m. in March and whenever there is not a library program in session.

"Pat and Jud have extraordinarily creative backgrounds. Jud started at Walt Disney Imagineering and was involved in the building of Walt Disney World. Pat found she had a knack for choosing art that catches the public’s eye and gained an appreciation for illustration. She started her own company, Great American Puzzle Factory, which she has since sold to a gaming company. So they are both steeped in the creative world and they bring their different perspectives to their photography. They were able to transfer their earlier creative experience to their love of photography and they now travel the world capturing fascinating subjects with their cameras. Come and see the show in March, you’ll love their colorful array of images." said Library Director Yvonne Cech.

Area artists are invited to submit samples of their work either in person at the library or on the library's website at www.brookfieldlibrary.org. The Art Gallery Committee will review all submissions and will contact those selected and will schedule exhibits. Library patrons will be able to see each exhibit as they attend library programs in the community room.
