DISCOVERING INTIMATE DETAILS IN NATURE

The Art of Discovering Intimate Details in Nature

"Intimate Details in Nature"

Have you ever paused to observe the intricate details in nature? Art Gallery Kimberley is proud to present Intimate Details in Nature, a compelling photography exhibit by photographer Tracey Halladay, in the gallery from September 9 through 29, 2024.

Tracey Halladay invites viewers to step into a world often overlooked, where the beauty of the Southeast Rockies is revealed in its most subtle forms. Through her lens, Tracey captures the delicate patterns on leaves, the soft textures of fur and feathers, and the remarkable complexity of insect wings. Each photograph in this collection tells a story of mindfulness, encouraging viewers to slow down and truly see the world around them.

"I take the time to slow down and appreciate the little things around me. I clear my mind and become fully aware of my surroundings," says Tracey. "By looking at the big scene and gradually discerning the finer details, I capture the essence and subtle beauty of the world."

While creating this body of work, Tracey has noticed an increased awareness of her senses and the ability to see the elements in a smaller scene. This has also allowed her to use this technique in other areas of her photography.

Intimate Details in Nature is more than a photography exhibit; it is an invitation to reconnect with the natural world. Tracey's work reminds us of the treasures hidden in plain sight and the peace that comes from immersing ourselves in the natural environment. Tracey explains, “By sharing the natural beauty and mystery of the wild places and faces surrounding me, I encourage people to be mindful, curious, and compassionate towards themselves, others, this Earth, and its creatures.”

Tracey, a photographer based in the Southeast Rockies of British Columbia, has long been inspired by the wild places and faces that surround her. Her photography is a conduit for emotion, connection, and passion—an expression of her belief that life is a gift to be cherished.

Please join us at Art Gallery Kimberley for a Q&A with Tracey on Sunday, September 29 between 3 and 5 pm, and experience the beauty that lies in the small, often unnoticed details of the world around us. The exhibit welcomes visitors from Monday through Wednesday by appointment and from Thursday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm.
