The Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King St., St. Augustine, will present new work from photographer Tina Henle, the featured artist for March. Her exhibit, “From Above and Below” will be on display from 5 to 9 p.m. March 7 during First Friday Artwalk. She will give a short artist’s talk at 6 p.m. to discuss her new work.
Henle’s images are born of the solace she experiences with the ocean in its power and beauty. Wandering the beach, she said, “is a meditation for me, never knowing what will capture my attention. The image, ‘To Fly,’ was an unexpected surprise that crossed my lens as I focused on the shore one morning. Other images are also of unexpected moments on my wanderings of the beauty of nature: aerials while dreaming out windows of planes, hiking through a volcano on a foggy morning in Bali and hiking in the rainy Highlands of Scotland.”
Henle is an award-winning freelance photographer with more than 45 years of fine art, portrait and wedding photography. Growing up on the island of St. Croix, she acquired her first camera, a twin lens Rolleiflex, from her father, Fritz Henle at age 18. Thus began her love for photography and passion for travel and diverse cultures.
In 1984, she received a BA in art and anthropology from the University of New Mexico and worked and mentored with her father throughout the 1980s. She has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows and co-owned the Henle Gallery in St. Croix for 27 years.
Henle now resides in St. Augustine and has been a member of Butterfield Garage Gallery since 2017. She continues to travel worldwide, always adding to her portfolio of creative fine art photography.
Butterfield Garage Art Gallery is open every day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Artwalk on the First Friday of every month until 9 p.m. Disabled parking is available in front of the building.
