Featured Artist: Nancy Ridenour
Photography allows me to creatively capture a moment in time, a memory, and a record of my interests in life. It is an artistic expression of items and places that interest me. My subjects include Flowers, Florida birds, Zoo animals, Cement Sculpture Abstracts, Still Life, Travel, and NYC bridges and buildings.
