Raven’s Wish Gallery is pleased to announce a solo photography exhibition by Pat Sparling of Orfordville, WI. “Do You See What I See?” is a collection of dynamic photographic images from abandoned spaces in downtown to wide open rural landscapes of Rock County. Each is a thought-provoking, careful study in composition and color theory.

Sparling grew up in Chicago loving street photography and the wonderful cityscape of his youth. Now living on a farm in rural Orfordville, he is inspired by the beautiful rural landscapes that surround him. Sparling states, “I use my love of Chicago street photography and combine it with charming rural surroundings to create my images.” Sparling has been a photographer for more than 40 years, spending 25 years as a studio artist using large format cameras.

Magical, Mystical, and Marvelous is an invitational exhibition featuring 21 artists from Janesville and surrounding communities celebrating enchantment and wonder, themes of magic, mystical and mythical beings, and the charmed life. A variety of mediums will be represented including painting, sculpture, mixed media, photography, collage, and the digital arts.

“A Matter of Seeing” is a large body of images from Adler’s extensive portfolio. Known generally for his transportation shots, especially trains, Adler’s current show is wide-ranging including iconic Wisconsin images, gardens, architectural abstracts, travel, and yes, a couple of trains.

Adler states “I seek interesting shapes with attractive colors, great composition, and a nice balance in the details. If I have a dominant theme: it’s people and things standing alone in some way.”

London: Icons and Heritage

This photographic collection by Rich Fletcher is of ancient tradition and architecture along with scenes of celebration and modernity. 

Rich Fletcher loves to travel and loves photography as a means of expressing his experience of “being there.” He has been fortunate to travel to and document many great destinations over the past twenty years, and finds it a wonderful challenge to capture a bit of the essence of a place allowing the viewer to feel as if they are there with him.

Returning to London in 2011 after a 10 year absence, Rich has fallen in love with the city. With a friend he participated in events surrounding the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. Rich notes “the pageantry and royal spectacle in the vibrant and ever changing modern city really impressed me and I wanted to explore the city more.  I was able to return and attend the London 2012 Olympic Games and followed with a much quieter trip in 2014.”

An artist reception for Fletcher will be held from 6 pm to 8 pm on March 27th at Raven’s Wish Gallery, 101 W. Milwaukee Street in Janesville. The exhibition will hang through April 22nd and the gallery is open from 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday.
