January 13 – February 27, 2011
Reception and Artist Lecture Tuesday, February 1, 5:30–7:30 pm
John Karrer has lived in the North End of Hartford for over 40 years. Upon retiring in 2002, he began a daily routine of morning walks in the woodlands of the Greater Hartford area accompanied by his dog and a digital camera. His photography and writing capture the beauty and mystery of nature. In this the images and text stood side-by-side creating a narrative of John’s experiences. Additionally, both helped to communicate the spirituality and awe inherent in nature.
Seldom is John far into his walks before he begins to experience the presence of what John calls The Creator. John states, “I am never more at ease and comfortable than on these walks—I feel the presence of The Creator. These interactions have strengthened my faith and made prayer more meaningful.”
