Andrea Letters was awarded 2nd Place in the RAC Masters show for her photography series "The Nightlife of Flowering Trees and Shrubs." This project began with evening walks with her dog, when she started photographing flowering plants in the dark. Intrigued by what the camera revealed, she returned with a tripod and began working with directed light and long exposures. The resulting images depict a world that is both familiar and strange. Come visit now until October 10 (Tuesday through Friday 12 to 5 pm or Saturday 10 am to 1 pm)
