Touched By Light, a new exhibition of photographs by Ellen Lynch
What is photography, if not a celebration of light? This exhibition of photographs, TOUCHED BY LIGHT, features large-scale images of horses illuminated by the sun, celebrating the dance between light and shadow. A Quarter/Belgian cross kicks up dust in a sliver of light streaming into an otherwise black arena, a herd in the blue afternoon light of the North Dakota Badlands, and Welsh Cobbs dancing in the dramatic post-storm light of the U.K.
Horse Whisperer Frank Bell
Join us for a conversation with horse whisperer Frank Bell who will talk about his work with horses, as well as his philanthropic and entrepreneurial projects.
Kray Van Kirk
The room was almost empty after Van Kirk's show at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. A man with shirt-sleeves rolled up in the August heat walked over to him and stood hesitantly for a moment before thrusting out his hand. "I use to sing for my wife in the evenings, but she has dementia now and doesn't remember me. That song about the lost lovers and the dance hall..." He stopped for a moment before his Scottish reserve reasserted itself. "I really liked that one."
A fine finger-style guitarist with a precise baritone, Kray Van Kirk has a Ph.D. from the University of Alaska, but he set science aside to write songs, tell stories and summon heroes.
"We are driven by myth and the seasons of the heart," he says, "and the stories are all true. There is a dark cave inside each of us, and monsters of all kinds lurk there, all the more lethal for being hidden. The quest is to journey inside, render the monsters powerless, find whatever it is that burns at the core of your soul and bring it back into the light. In a world divided it is critical to write songs and tell stories that show absolutely everyone they get to be the hero. Nobody is left behind."
Thus his songs: Thunderbird resurrects the Phoenix in an empty desert diner in the American Southwest (yes, the Phoenix drives a Thunderbird), The Queen of Elfland plucks Thomas the Rhymer from the English-Scottish border in 1250 and drops him and the Queen into a subway car, The Library Song has Superman moonlighting among the stacks, Rosa and Hector ride through Sherwood Forest on canes and a wheelchair, and The Midnight Commander celebrates an insane old man leading the city of New York to take up arms (and underwear) against hatred.
Of this charming, Quixotic, and decidedly eclectic performer, the Borderline Folk Club in New York wrote “it is what every singer-songwriter should aspire to.”

Ellen Lynch
An exhibition of fine art images of horses and the Grand Teton Mountains, by photographer Ellen Lynch. Her dramatic, large-scale images remind us of our place and responsibility in the beauty that surrounds us, and the beings with whom we share this precious planet.
From Ellen: In offering my images, I’m sharing my veneration for our home. I’m sharing that place in myself that is of the Earth. I’m sharing a reminder to look up, to look down and to look within, a reminder that we are all of the Earth. As the Earth is, we are.
A catalog of the exhibition can be downloaded HERE.
