Gallery 1855 at the Davis Cemetery Presents: The Work of Judith Monroe

Gallery 1855 Presents: The Work of Judith Yemma.

Alfred Stieglitz once said, “In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.” Yemma’s photographs, skillfully crafted, are founded in her artistic roots as a painter, suitably embody Stieglitz’s astute comment. The delicate lines, sweeping angles, and overlapping images of Yemma’s unique prints evoke wonder amid the serenity of curving white lilies, the rounded corners of tulips, or the sweeping aura of orchids.

“The visual arts have always been part of my life,” Yemma states. Her mother is an accomplished painter and sculptor, and Yemma earned her degree in Fine Arts with an emphasis in painting and ceramics. Photography has become her medium of choice and it shows. She has received Awards of Merit and Awards of Excellence in the 2007 & 2008 juried California Fine Arts Competition, First Place in the Sacramento Bee Travel Photography and Garden Photography contests, and First Place – Photography in the 2007 KVIE juried art auction, among other awards. Her work has been featured in area galleries such as Viewpoint and Appel. However, her success is perhaps best measured by the breathtaking attention to detail in every composition and the sense of awe and beauty each evokes in the viewer.

Please meet Judy Yemma and experience her work for yourself at a free reception on Sunday, July 11th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, held at Gallery 1855, in the Davis Cemetery office building located on the sumptuous historic grounds, 820 Pole Line Road (corner of E. 8th St.). Her photographs will be displayed from July 1st through July 31st, and those unable to attend the reception may view the work between the hours of 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM weekdays at Gallery 1855.
