Tegan Jenvieve's Halloween exhibit "Dark Beauty" at The OZLAND Art Gallery
Tegan Jenvieve is free spirit in real life and second life in search of emotions and experiences that move her soul. Between intuition and technique she works in different mediums including digital media, photography, words, and prims to show the viewer what lies in between the obvious and mundane. It is the search for that unknown that drives her to try out new techniques, take risks, and explore all that SL can offer. She holds a masters in Education and Bachelors in Math, and is proud mom of 3 out-of-the-box kids who are living proof that magic does indeed exist. Tegan Jenvieve's Halloween exhibit "Dark Beauty" examines the intense contrasts and images on one moonlit Halloween night. All the images in Black and White harken back to the days when textures and composition alone, not special effects, could transport you to far off places and evoke deep thoughts.
On a lonely walk through a dark forest at midnight in SL, who knows what you will encounter......and if you make it home at all! Don't forget to look for the glowing gifts, these spooky objects want to come home and haunt your house too. See the exhibit at the OZLAND Art Gallery

"Desert Thunder" photography by Cowboy Darbyshire - OZLAND Art Gallery - September 2010
Cowboy Darbyshire lives in southern Arizona and has been chasing storms for 12 years.
His work has been featured on national TV and on several syndicated channels. He also has multiple storm photographs in various publications primarily in Asia and the South Pacific.
Lightning photography is Cowboy's specialty and his passion for chasing storms at almost any hour of the night or day has been rewarded on several occasions with unique photographs from a variety of places in the desert southwest.
He uses a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi and two primary lenses, a 28-80mm and a 70-300mm for all his photographs. His "trademark" photographs are taken during daylight hours... which are notoriously difficult to capture.
Visit Cowboy's ELECTIFYING exhibit at the OZLAND Art Gallery for the month of September and make sure you take home the free gift that he has made specially for guests who visit this exhibit!

Van Caerndow's Western Paintings on Glass at the OZLAND Art Gallery - August 2010
"I paint on glass as a window to the worlds in my imagination"
Van Caerndow has developed a style of painting on glass (mostly miniatures) using a French water based craft paint called Pebeo, which is designed for glass and ceramics. After painting is done he bakes the glass for 20 minutes at 325 degrees. From these finished works he signs, and numbers Giclee prints at up to 400% of the actual size.
His subject matter varies from sports to travel to portraits, but is dominated by his fascination with the American West.
All his pieces on display in SL have been painted in the last five years. Not only are most of the originals (On glass) available for sale in RL, but he also offers the giclee prints for purchase by contacting Phil Strang at houseofstrang@aol.com.
Visit Van's Western exhibit at the OZLAND Art Gallery for the month of August and make sure you take home the free gift that he has made specially for guests who visit this exhibit!

Jadyn Firehawk Photography - Christmas in July Exhibit at the OZLAND Art Gallery
Jadyn Firehawk is a professional geographer & amateur photographer. Born in the Philippines she now lives in Texas.
She believes the mind behind the camera is more important then the quality of the camera. Her photos are taken with a Canon PowerShot point-n-shoot digital camera. She's tried a better camera but keeps reverting to her trusty point-n-shoot. She's concluded it's better to have a small camera in her purse at all times, than a fancy camera at home when she needs to capture a spontaneous shot the moment it catches her eye.
Living with bipolar disorder has given an intensity to her vision of the way she sees the world. Most people see things in pictures, she sees pictures in things. She loves to photograph things in daily life "as is" without any staging. Once she started looking for "as is" pictures, the world around her got more interesting and beautiful.
Visit her Christmas in July exhibit at the OZLAND Art Gallery for the month of July and take home the free gift that Jadyn has made!
