Art exhibitions include displays by aerial photographer Patrick Cudahy, landscape photographer Peter Carlson and feather and ink artist Noel Soucy.
J. Patrick Cudahy features amazing aerial photography from his series “Above the Secret Space of Tides.” The exhibit includes photographs of Northcoast estuaries taken from a small airplane, 1000 to 3000 feet high. This aerial perspective reveals the Northcoast in a way not seen before.
Peter Carlson is a Northern spotted owl biologist who photographs owls and the beautiful places in which they live. His photographs depict the wild landscapes and critters here in the pacific northwest. EPIC works to protect many of the places that Carlson has captured in his photographs.
Noel Soucy is a biologist and a copetitioner for listing the Humboldt marten as an endangered species. Her colorful caricatures are created with ink dipped feathers, depicting many of the species she works with in the field, including the Northern spotted owl, the Humboldt marten and other critters of the Northcoast.
