"Bahamas Bound"

May 6 - 25, 2012

Opening Reception: May 6, 2012 @ 2:30pm- 4:00pm

"Looking Back at DothamCut from Exuma Sound" Stacy Hall

Photographer, Stacy Hall, is this month’s artist in the Bradford Baysden Gallery. Stacy has been a nurse for over 20 years.  After receiving a camera (Minolta XG1) in the early eighties her love for fine art developed into a passion for photography. This led to an A.D. in photography in the 1990's.  She has been busy photographing ever since.

In 2008 Stacy and her husband, Robert, retired from the working life, bought a boat and headed to the Bahamas with daughter, Andei.  The Bahamas marked a major transition in their lives, from jobs and a house, to living and traveling on a boat that became their home.

“I love the vivid colors of the Bahamas, and the ability to travel into very remote locations and live closely with nature without the distraction of commerce, shopping and TV. My goal is to document all our travels. The sea beckons!!”

Stacy gave her original Minolta to daughter, Andei, in 2008. From that moment, she too, was hooked. She and her father, Patrick Keough, will be our featured artists in May of 2013.

The show will be exhibited in the Bradford Baysden Gallery at the Council for the Arts, 826 New Bridge St., Jacksonville, NC.
