Visuals Sept. 1-7: A west coast photography collective celebrates 25 years, and more.

OLIVER KLINK

Founded in 1996, ImageMakers has grown into a diverse group of over 50 professionals and amateurs representing not only the best of the West Coast tradition, but also new and emerging approaches to photography. An exhibition titled “ImageMakers: Celebrating 25 Years” honors this history. Hosted by the Pacific Grove Art Center (568 Lighthouse Ave.), the exhibit will be on display Friday, Sept. 2 through Oct. 27. Oliver Klink is a photographer originally from Switzerland who currently resides in Los Gatos. He is a master of the new digital printing process called Piezography. By using a combination of pigment ink and a proprietary profiling process, he produces enhanced highlight and shadow details that exceed what is possible in a traditional darkroom. [AP]

TAMARA KEIPER

There is a new exhibit in the Meals on Wheels Community Center in Pacific Grove. “Three Award-Winning Artists” features Central Coast Art Association’s members Bobbie Belvel, Rhett Regina Owings and Tamara Keiper, whose piece “Sunflowers & Lavender” can be seen above. Painting from life is essential for Keiper’s still lifes, florals, figures, portraits and landscapes. Though she uses a variety of mediums, she will have mostly still life pieces in oils available at this show. Working with the fast-drying mediums such as airbrush, pastels, watercolors and acrylics allows Keiper great expression and spontaneity, she reports. The exhibit can be viewed during business hours at Meals on Wheels. A percentage of the sales benefit the nonprofit organization. [AP]
