Gifford Ewing, The Maine Landscape Collection, Black & White Silver Gelatin Prints

As a young man stationed in Oklahoma in 1970, Gifford Ewing began photographing black and white landscapes. He worked as a newspaper photographer and later opened his own Photography Studio in Denver, serving the advertising and architectural communities, and quickly gained a reputation as one of the region's finest photographers.

Gifford has captured American landscapes from east to west, mostly in Maine and the Rocky Mountain region.

These areas offer two distinctive environments, each displaying what Gifford calls the artistic forms created by a landscape: the texture of the land, and the tones and interplay of light in pristine environments. From his black and white negatives, Gifford creates fine art archival silver prints. His photographs focus on natural elements - rock formations, lakes, snowy hills - alone or with man-made elements such as boats, fences, buildings, even cityscapes. Through Gifford's lens, these images become peaceful, mysterious, and evocative.

In his work with the Colorado Nature Conservancy, Gifford travels the state and shoots the organization's projects - a landscape artist's dream. His work is in collections from Maine to California including the Denver Art Museum.

"My early interest in animals of all kinds continues to be the focus of my painting and sculpture. Our pet chickens, geese and cats as well as the wild fox, crows and deer are my inspiration. The more I learn about the animals I paint, the more I understand how we are related."

Rebekah received a B.A. in Art Education, from the University of Maine. She has studied with noted artists, Leonard Baskin, Alan Bray and George Grenameyer.
