Addison Woolley Gallery invites you to participate in a dynamic afternoon workshop where instructor/photographer, Nancy Grace Horton, will inspire you with her enthusiasm, talent and warm good humor; as she helps you explore the workings and creative possibilities of your digital camera. The structure of the workshop allows you to work at your own level. Bring your successful and your problematic images (either prints or on a disk) and Nancy will look at them with you. She’ll help you to see what works and why; where you might have succeeded when you thought you hadn’t, and what you might have done differently. She’ll bring you back to focusing on the image you want to create, making the connection between your ideas and the frame.

Nancy’s career has taken her around the world as a full-time commercial and fine artist. Her editorial clients include The Boston Globe, Yankee Magazine, and Rolling Stone Magazine. Go to www.nancygracehorton.com to read her bio, extensive accomplishments and view her photographs.
