PORT TOWNSEND — Mitchel Osborne’s photographs and Margaret Woodcock’s work will be featured at Port Townsend Gallery in September.
The gallery, at 715 Water St., is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and by appointment.
Osborne is a professional photographer who has contributed to international travel guides, travel magazines and books. He has concentrated on the travel industry, extensively photographing locations worldwide.
Osborne lived in New Orleans for 30 years and was drawn to maritime subjects — originally steamboats on the Mississippi River. After moving to Port Townsend, he discovered a new appeal in the beauty, craftsmanship and preservation of the boats in the historical setting.
Featured in his work are photos that explore the fusion of colors, water and boat details. The September show features his signature reflection series and boats of the Wooden Boat Festival.
Margaret Woodcock’s work will be on display at Port Townsend Gallery.
Woodcock’s new pieces combine water, wind, greenery, shells, birds, wildlife and boats.
She works in collage and printmaking, combining landscape photos taken on walks or trips, bird imagery, text, music, botanical illustrations, graphic charts and maps as sources for the images.
Woodcock works in collage as its own medium as well as creating collages digitally that she turns into etchings via photopolymer plates that she prints along with a chine collé color layer using a traditional hand printing press at Corvidae Press in Fort Worden.
