Gallery Stroll with Jeff Clay at HEAL Utah

Gallery Stroll with Jeff Clay

Utah Art and Environment Collaborative

Friday, July 20, 6:00-9:00 p.m

HEAL Utah, along with their non-profit neighbors, is excited to open up the Utah Art and Environment Collaborative once again for July's Gallery Stroll with Jeff Clay! If you haven't yet seen Jeff's work, you're in for a treat!

Capitol Reef

From red rock to the Great Salt Lake, the West Desert to Canyonlands, Jeff (also a HEAL Utah Board member) has captured Utah's iconic landscapes in imaginative ways including infrared and panorama photography. Some landforms are under-documented whilst others are iconic. All are ripe for interpretation and reinterpretation. See more of his work here.

In addition to viewing Jeff's work, you can also learn the latest from the five non-profits who make up the Utah Art and Environment Collaborative: Save Our Canyons, Tree Utah, Wild Utah Project, the Utah Chapter of the Sierra Club, and HEAL Utah.

HEAL Utah will host a reception, part of Salt Lake’s regular monthly Gallery Stroll at their office at Artspace Commons on Friday, July 20, from 6 to 9 p.m. Light hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served.

About the Jeff Clay:

Jeff Clay

Trained in the sciences and working professionally in the information technology field, I am largely a self-taught photographer that has been creating images for over three decades. In early 2008 I embarked on a new phase of my life by launching Clayhaus Photography. Since that time I have been developing my personal approach to fine art photography by acquiring a high level of technical skill as well as refining the creative expression that is my “artistic voice.” This has resulted in a growing collection of rich and diverse portfolios.

I’ve always loved the twin pursuits of exploring and discovery, whether they are in the natural or built landscapes. Both are now closely linked to my photographic processes and creations. In the field, I control the subject matter and composition and seek with my eyes and cameras the photograph to take. Working later, with my computer, I make the image my imagination wills. The camera and the computer, field and office, exploration and discovery, all are the yin and yang of my work guided by skill, created by artistic intent.

Reflecting different personal interests, my photographic techniques and subjects are also diverse. Gothic cathedrals, still life, dusty mediaeval villages, modern architecture, abstract patterns of light and shadow, remote desert valleys, these and more are all parts of the varied canvas I photograph. I also utilize different photographic techniques and tools including infrared photography, black and white conversion, bracketed exposure blending, and the panorama format.

Since starting Clayhaus Photography, I have had solo shows as well as been part of group gallery exhibits and have participated in a number of festivals and arts-and-crafts markets. I’ve also won a number of professionally-judged competitions. I am currently exhibiting my work at the Local Colors of Utah Gallery, as well as the Utah Art and Environment Collaborative.

Jeff will have framed art and matted prints for sale-- a portion of which will benefit the non-profits.
