August and September,  Erik Gehring    top

This show will feature Erik Gehring's bark abstracts from the Arboretum, most of which were taken during rainstorms. "Many of the species at the Arboretum have stunning patterns of exfoliation, particularly when they are saturated," said Gehring. "I love to wander the park during storms with camera, tripod, and umbrella in hand, invariably getting as wet as my subjects. I am constantly amazed at how much life can be contained in such a small space."

Erik Gehring is an award-winning photographer and a devoted environmental advocate. He grew up in Wellesley, MA and now lives in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston with his wife Julie and son Carl. He has shown his work extensively throughout eastern Massachusetts, including an exhibition in the winter of 2008 at the Arboretum's Hunnewell Building. He also teaches classes in digital photography for the Arboretum, the Eliot School in Jamaica Plain, and the Hyde Park Arts Association in Hyde Park, MA, and for the last three years he has produced a calendar of images from the Arboretum entitled 'Trees of Boston'.
