On Exhibit: “Breathe in Water” by Sue Michlovitz

The Camden Public Library is pleased to welcome Sue Michlovitz for her photography and book exhibit “Breathe in Water” in the Picker Room Gallery during the month of December.

“Water is restorative and vital in all its forms. The paradox of water is in its character as peaceful yet invigorating, both life-giving and life-threatening. My photographs shown in both prints and a fine art book, embrace these contradictions. The blue-green colors are inspired by the seascapes of Winslow Homer and the lily ponds of Claude Monet.

“My background as a physical therapist and clinical scientist inform my artistic approach. Observing the anatomy of water, I am drawn to reflections, refractions, textures, and layers of light and color. In some of my more abstracted images, I often imagine a part or whole of a human figure, appearing from within the shadows and layers.” – Sue Michlovitz
