Water: A source of beauty and wonder. An environment for a staggering variety of life. A magnet for imagination, recreation, meditation, fear, wonder. Ever various in its sources and forms: Fog, mist, spray, ice, oceans and rivers, lakes and streams, rain, sleet, and snow.
For this exhibit we seek photographs that capture the way water catches light, cuts through the earth, falls from the sky, changes form, and sustains or threatens life.

While respecting these West Coast traditions, CPA is also at the vanguard of the future of photographic imagery.
Before coming to CPA, Ann was the gallery manager at Scott Nichols Gallery in San Francisco where she incorporated contemporary artists with the legends photography. Ann also worked as the gallery director at RayKo Photo Center in San Francisco for 10 years until their closure in 2017.
