Cookeville Camera Club's Annual Exhibit a Must See

 

This summer spend some time out of the heat and let the Cookeville Camera Club take you to some fascinating places, locally and around the country.

The club's annual exhibition makes its way to the Back Door Gallery next month.

Wanda Krack, club president, is sure everyone will enjoy the exhibit.  "We hope everyone will stop by to visit and see some of the wonderful photography from club members.  The Cookeville Camera Club has lots of talent and is a very active group.  We are delighted to have the opportunity to share with the community some of our art," she says.

Gary has a display at Poets Coffie shop on the square in Cookeville, TN which will remain through July.

Stop by and see his wonderful work.

CCC will greatly miss Jack Swan, who passed away suddenly at his home on June 18th.  Jack had been an active member of the club since 1999. His wife, Margaret joined in 2000.  The couple traveled extensively and we always enjoyed the photographs they brought back from their excursions.

Hutcheson, a talented painter, uses photography to help her create portraits on canvas.
"I'm not a professional painter," she says.  "But my passion is painting."
Hutcheson lives out her passion on a daily basis in Nashville as an art teacher for grades K-4.  She paints portraits on the side.
