Photographer Mary T. McVicker Featured at The Artist Within

Hartford City photographer Mary T. McVicker is the featured artist for July at the Artist Within, in an exhibit titled "Pleasant Sting." An opening reception will be held Thursday July 2nd from 5-8pm with live music by Peter Dragoo and Friends, and light refreshments.

Mary's work will remain on exhibit through July 31, 2009, though The Artist Within is closed for July 4th.

Mary says her photographs are just the way she sees the world. "Every time I step outside, my eyes become a lens - wanting to take that next photograph. For me, looking behind the lens, my environment is beautiful! I believe anything can be photographed, and be a piece of art work. I carry my camera with me everywhere, always looking for something out of the ordinary." explains this young artist.

Mary McVicker grew up in Hartford City, Indiana, always enjoying life, with a camera in her hand. She studied broadcasting in college, but life has brought her back to photography. Mary's passion for photography stirred her to start a local photography club that meets monthly in Hartford City. She enjoys sharing her passion with anyone that will listen!

McVicker's photographs were on exhibit in the Hartford City ART4HC Show and she recently had work in the "One Wine at a Time" wine and art event at Vera Mae's Bistro here in Muncie.
