Speaking of her work, she states. “I feel great wonder and joy in the world around me. In awe of what I find in nature, I love the land, plants, patterns, and little corners of the world that I discover in my frequent wanderings there. I would like the viewing of my photographs to be a rich experience, evoking emotion and stimulating the imagination. Ultimately, I hope that my work allows viewers to be touched by the magic and beauty that is always around us.”Dickert’s portfolio and blog may be found at lightdance.org. All artwork is available for purchase by contacting the artist.
The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular library hours. For more information call 908-276-2451.
