Grey Towers exhibit features photographs

of the Delaware Water Gap

MILFORD, PA — “Images of the Park,” an exhibit of the work of three area photographers in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, will be presented on Saturday, June 7 and Sunday, June 8 at Grey Towers National Historic Site.

Co-sponsored by the Friends of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, the U.S. Forest Service at Grey Towers and the Grey Towers Heritage Association, the exhibit will open at 4:00 p.m. on June 7 with an artists’ reception session. The opening will be followed at 5:30 p.m. by a free concert on the grounds of Grey Towers, co-sponsored by the Forest Service and the Heritage Association. The exhibit also will be open to the public on Sunday, June 8.

The exhibit, featuring the works of John Kiersten of Florida, NY, Jordan Lewis of Bushkill and Anita Ray of Milford showcases the natural wonders of the 70,000-acre recreation area.

Kiersten has been displaying his black and white prints taken with large format 8-by-0 and 8-by-20 cameras at Peters Valley Gallery for several years. He has concentrated on the recreation area for its unique history, landscape, flora and fauna to share the fundamental beauties of this national park.

Lewis is an opera singer and photo-

grapher who operates an arts production studio for classical music and digital fine art print making. For Lewis, his combination of music and images is nurtured by the extraordinary gift the local national park offers for peace and renewal of the artistic soul.

Ray, known for her undersea photography, in recent years turned her camera to the wonders of the Delaware River Valley, where she explores the turbulent history of this paradise along with the reclamation of the land by natural processes.

The Friends of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is dedicated to supporting historic, scientific, educational, recreational and natural resource management activities in the park and to raising funds for special park projects.
