Fine Art Photography
The Fine Art Photography collection contains work by two noteworthy contemporary
photographers: Karen Glaser and Carol Kay. Both women have generously offered to
share their work on our website and will be taking part in events in October and
November. Karen Glaser’s talk, “Above & Below Florida’s Freshwaters,” will be at
7:00pm on Oct. 25th. Carol Kay will on campus to display her work and answer questions
on Nov. 7th. Please visit the Events Page for further details.
Karen Glaser holds an M.F.A. in photography from Indiana University and was commissioned
by the City of Tampa to create a portfolio for the city’s Big Picture Project. Glaser
often uses Florida’s waters as her subject matter. Her exhibit, The Mark of Water:
Florida’s Springs and Swamps, was recently shown at the Southeast Museum of Photography
in Daytona Beach.
Carol Kay, an alumna of both the Ontario School of Art and Design and Eckerd College,
continues to share time between Canada and Florida. Many of the photos featured
on our website were taken from a moving kayak during a trip with river guide Hadrian
Alegarbes. The Echo Gallery in St. Petersburg hosted an exhibit of her digital abstraction
collages in 2006. She continues to photograph the “hidden treasures” of Florida’s
natural environment. Alegarbes will be leading a guided canoe paddle as part of
our events. Visit the Events Page for further details.
Karen Glaser
More than twenty five years ago, Karen Glaser was given a little yellow Minolta Weathermatic instamatic underwater camera for her birthday. It changed her life. Today she still finds herself drawn to subjects in and around water. Florida’s rivers, springs and swamps have become pure obsession. Karen has a Master of Fine Arts in Photography, and her pictures are in multiple museum and corporate collections.
