An exhibit of photographs by Maureen Neville premieres July 3rd
Photographer Maureen Neville will present an exhibit of her photographs at Domesticities from July 3rd through August 3rd with an opening reception on July 11th from 2 – 5 pm.
Drawn to the sea from an early age, Maureen spends a significant amount of time by the ocean. Her show will feature photos taken from her time spent on Block Island (Rhode Island) this past February. Maureen weathered the infamous blizzard of 2026 in a house right on the water. When she finally shoveled herself out, she stepped outside to a fairy tale world full of inspiration. About her work, Maureen states, “Solitude is important to me and an inspiration for photography. I find myself drawn to places with an absence of crowds, particularly near the water. Riparian by nature, I can be happy near an ocean, lake, river, or pond. Simple quiet moments are often the most powerful, with just me and my camera. A quiet exuberance.”
The images in this exhibit also convey Maureen’s deep love for the bucolic setting just outside her own door. Her house is directly across from a farm pasture and a few miles from the Delaware River. Her love of photography began in Key West, where she lived for over twenty years. While in Key West, Maureen studied photography briefly but put her camera aside for many years. She finally picked up her camera again with a more serious focus about 10 years ago.
