Deception by Design

During the month of March, local photographer Ann Kamzelski will have an exhibit in the member`s gallery at the Cedar Key Arts Center titled "Deception by Design". Last year Ann discovered the technique of making collages from multiple photographs. This opened up a whole an entirely new direction for her art.

All of the works on display are composites of two or more of her original photographic images combined to make a new piece of artwork. Some are pretty, some thought provoking and some just plain fun. All of them are deceptive with elements ranging from clever to amazing, but always unexpected.
