Elizabeth Richebourg Rea is exhibiting her recent large-scale, black and white and color cibachromes of intimate psychological encounters between people.

Jeannette Montgomery Barron is a still life and portrait photographer. In 1989, Editions Bischofberger published 60 of her portraits and still lifes. Her photographs are in numerous private, museum and corporate collections, including those of Ralph Lauren and Banana Republic.
She is currently working on a book of still lifes which will have an accompanying essay by the writer Edmund White. She has had exhibitions in New York, Rome, Zurich and Los Angeles.
Carrie Coco works exclusively in photomontage, juxtaposing unusual subjects to explore their visual and emotional consequences. Part of her exhibit will consist of an installation on the theme of windows.
