SOBA Featured Artist of the Month
The SOBA Gallery is happy to once again host as our “Featured Artist of the Month”, Edith Wood. Her new show is called, “Just Birds”. Edith works patiently for the precise moment to capture the birds while they are at their best in the wild. To do this a photographer must be practiced in the art of snapping the camera while the bird is in an artists’ composition, and also is in natural light and showing the characteristics of each species of bird.
