The Art of Travel: Photography from Around the World. Stuart Chandler, Valencia, PA. Saturday, October 8, 2022, 3pm-5pm. Refreshments served.

Stu Chandler uses photography for more than capturing just a pretty picture. He creates images with a sense of place, interest, moment, drama, and beauty. In his  words, “I embrace the freedom to shape an image to realize the full potential of a scene, with no apologies.”

About the Artist:

Photographer, educator, engineer, and traveler Stu Chandler has carried a camera for over 50 years, mostly during his career as an electrical engineer. Until recently, he developed training centers and conferences throughout North and South America. Recently retired, he has turned his attention to photography fulltime.

As per CDC guidelines, we ask that you wear masks and social distance so this event can be enjoyed by everyone. Thank you!

The Bottlebrush Gallery & Center for the Arts is proud to partner with Pittsburgh radio and television personality Doug Oster in a fundraising initiative for Hair Peace Charities, a southwestern Pennsylvania organization supporting women and girls experiencing hair loss as a result of their cancer treatment.  

While you may know Doug as Pittsburgh’s own “gardening guy”, he’s also an accomplished photographer. Doug’s beautiful and well-composed photographs caught our eye, and as the winding path of life goes, we’re hosting Doug’s work in the Gallery to support a charity of his choice.

“On the Lake at Sunset” is the first in a series of matted, framed 11”x14” photographs currently on display and available for purchase at the Gallery. Priced at $150, a portion of each sale will be donated to Hair Peace Charities.

About Hair Peace Charities: Hair Peace Charities helps women and girls in Southwestern Pennsylvania who have lost their hair due to treatment for cancer to purchase a wig. This in turn helps them regain their sense of identity, control, and self-esteem. As a faith-based organization, HPC also seeks to provide for the spiritual and emotional needs of its clients and their families. For more information on HPC, please visit:  http://www.hairpeace.org/donate-wigs

About Doug Oster: Doug is an Emmy-winning producer, television host and author of 5 books, with the most recent being “The Steel City Garden: Creating a One-of-a-Kind Garden in Black and Gold.” He is the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Home and Garden editor, co-host of the radio show The Organic Gardeners (KDKA Radio) and appears every Thursday on KDKA-TV’s Pittsburgh Today.
