The Photographic Art of Anne Cecille Meadows

Thursday, January 2 – Friday, February 28, 2014

The Karpeles Museum is proud to open the new year with the creative photography of Anne Cecille Meadows, whose intimate emotional relationship with her subject matter informs the powerful compositions and dramatic impact of her work. Ms. Meadows’ deep sensitivity to nature and keen eye for design enable her to capture the abstract values of the natural scene in broad landscapes and detailed close-ups of both flora and fauna.

Ms. Meadows is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has also studied at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville and the Scuola Lorenzo de Medici in Florence, Italy, and holds a degree in photography technology from the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies in Daytona Beach, Fla. Her silver gelatin prints have been exhibited by the Starbucks Coffee Co. in Jacksonville, and her digital prints by the same company in Cary, North Carolina.  In 2003 she exhibited at the Undergraduate Multimedia Festival at the James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence in Chapel Hill, and her work took the Grand Prize in Computer Assisted Imagery at the world-traveling exhibit of the Photographic Imaging Educators Association in 2007. Ms. Meadows was a regular contributor of sports and news photography to North Carolina newspapers, and her compelling images have been widely published in such regional periodicals as the award-winning Hudson Valley-based arts magazine Chronogram.

The public is invited to meet the artist at an opening reception at the Karpeles Museum on Thursday, January 2, from 1 to 4 p.m.

The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum is located at 94 Broadway, across from City Hall, in the City of Newburgh. The Karpeles Museums are a national chain with twelve in the U.S., specializing in the preservation and display of original, historically significant documents and manuscripts. Museum hours: Thursday-Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday 12-4 p.m.
