Dan’s color and black and white photographs expose viewers to the intimate details of nature and impart a sensitivity toward architecture.

Together, the Hadwins’ works disclose a joint appreciation for places and spaces that Alice and Dan had shared.

The exhibition will be open to the public during church hours. Pieces will be available for purchase through the Cathedral Bookstore & Gift Shop. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Cathedral Art Guild to help fund future exhibits, purchase art inventory, offer art classes, and partake in related activities.
