Description
Art in the Library
The new Art in the Library exhibit features the photography and paintings of Jim Gift, and will be on display from June 2 through October 2 at the Sequim Branch Library. Gift, a Sequim-based artist, is an award winning nature photographer specializing in wildlife and landscape photography. He has won numerous awards for his photography including eight best of show ribbons. His landscapes reflect his special love of the wilderness. Gift is a lifelong birder and has completed his largest body of work on diverse bird species.
Over the last eight years, Gift has studied watercolor painting and has focused his time in developing his skills using this medium. He paints largely from his photographs of birds and of local mountains and waterways.
