Fri 6.28 Hale Charles Christopher RavenswoodOriginally from New York, Charles Christopher (see image), is an L.A. based photographer whose work conveys a sense of wonder and mystery by capturing the underlying spirit that exists largely unseen around us. His work has been featured in galleries and juried shows throughout Southern California, most recently The Hollywood Reporter’s exclusive “Design Hollywood.”

John Rosewall, is an abstract photographer as well as Professor of English. His work incorporates experimental techniques with digital methods to produce disembodied colors and light. Through Rosewall’s manipulation textural qualities form, similar to those found in nature. John Rosewall’s work has been featured in museums and galleries throughout Southern California, and most recently at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Arts.
