International Photographer

PRESS RELEASE

On Friday June 5, 2015, Wilson Hughes gallery and Roanoke Art by Night present another show in its series “Roanoke Welcomes an International Artist”. Jany Monroy*, shooting under the name Janybal is a photographer from Mexico. Her work as a conference interpreter endows her with endless curiosity which takes her around the world and her images reflect the world view. The work we have chosen for this show is a sampling of her voyages. Janybal uses one of the newest formats in photography the I-Phone, while limited in amount of information that is stored with each image, her eye for capturing the compelling view is unlimited

We will also feature new work by Roanoke Artist Suzun Hughes who will show work to be featured in her upcoming book on the Passages of Paris. This work was shot during her Artist in Residence at the Cite Des Arts Paris in 2011, 2012 and 2013. This is a look at some of the history of Paris that has been lost over the last few years.
