Photographs by Wayne MazorowPhotographs of landscapes and images of protected areas of Northeastern Ohio will highlight the July exhibit by area photographer Wayne Mazorow.An adhesives chemist with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Miami University, Mazorow taught himself photography while in college, and continued his education by taking workshops with several well-known area photographers after leaving school. He has exhibited in one-man shows at the Lightkeepers Gallery in Lakewood, the Big Creek Metropark in Geauga County, Akron General Hospital in Akron, and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in Cleveland. Mazorow's photographs were also named Best Color Award in the 29th Cleveland JCC Photography Show in 1998, and Best of Show in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Show in 2000.  Most of his works focus on protected areas of northeastern Ohio, using light, form and color to present an otherwise ordinary scene in a manner in which audiences may not have seen or will ever see again. Mazorow hopes that through his works, people will realize the importance of protecting these spaces for future generations. As he states, "It is hoped that from these images people will be introduced to the geographic and biodiversity of northeast Ohio's protected areas, from the well known to t he hidden. And get a glimpse of what is beyond the roadside, and why the areas have been preserved."

How the Quilter was BornTraditional pieced quilts by Rosemary Humphrey will be on display at the Ashtabula Arts Center from August 3 – September 4.Many people will remember Rosemary from her years working for the Arts Center. Now happily retired, she has had time to explore her own creative direction. Viewers of this exhibit will be treated to a visual feast of pattern and color. Rosemary has this to say about how she came to make quilts: "I once made an apron in Home Ec. Class, didn’t like the apron – didn’t like sewing and didn’t sew again for years. "I came late in life to quilt making. At the urging of my youngest son, I made my first quilt and presented it to him when he graduated from Hunter College with his MFA. The year was 1999. I’ve never planned to make a second quilt but I had so much fabric left over that it seemed a reasonable way to use it up. The second quilt was a little easier. The star points were more precise, the quarter inch seams more uniform and, during the process, I realized that I was enjoying the multiple ways color, patterns and textures played off each other to create different effects. Having then two quilts and three children, it seemed logical to make one more quilt – each child would be wrapped in love from Mom. I forget why the fourth quilt got made - but by then I was a ‘quilter’.
