Artist reception for Ever-changing: photographs by Irene VanBuskirk

Description

Meet Artist Irene VanBuskirk

Ever-Changing

Change is all around us, and nature shows it best. As a photographer, I’ve learned that nothing stays the same—everything grows and transforms, just like we do.

When I first started taking pictures, I focused on cities and small towns. But over time, I’ve been drawn to the countryside, especially trees. Trees are like nature’s storytellers, showing us how things change. In spring and summer, they’re full of green leaves. In autumn, they burst into fiery colors, and in winter, their branches are bare, revealing their true shapes. Sometimes, snow and ice cover them, turning them into sparkling works of art. Watching these changes inspires me every day.

Now, I’ve started layering photos together to create new images. Some pictures add texture, while others help make the scene richer and more interesting. It’s like making a painting with my camera, and I love how this new way of creating feels.

When I take pictures, I don’t just want to capture how things look. I want to show how light, shadow, and time make every moment special. Through my photos, I hope to share the magic of change and how it shapes the world around us.
