Inner Focus (Photography of Elisabeth Bard, Heather Siple, Beth Trepper)

Three dynamic female photographers present works reflecting years of experience and a view into their innermost thoughts and feelings. For Elisabeth Bard, ?the passage of time, space and environment and its impact upon the viewer? is a motivating factor in her work. Her intent is to have the viewer experience ?inner focus.? ?I want to envelop the viewer in the image, wrap them into its environment and have them leave with a different view on their world.? Bard wrote in her statement. Heather Siple expresses her love of photography with a firm belief that she has been a photographer since birth. Her youth involved ?envisioning concepts? as ?glowing spheres? until a ?clearer understanding? developed. A chance meeting with a fellow photographer introduced her to a technique that has made her concepts come alive with imagination and personal insight. Another very talented, accomplished photographer, Beth Trepper, has a background in the music and graphic art industries, and currently produces photo greeting cards. She is an accomplished writer, and a member of the National League of American Pen Women. Trepper describes her portfolio as comprising, ?fine art, vintage fashion, portraiture, figurative, documentary, landscape, entertainment and epicurean images.?
