At Snow Pond
Photograph, mounted and framed, 15" x 15"
Artist: Mona Dukess

Mona Dukess has been exhibiting in museums, galleries and academic venues for more than 40 years. Her works have been featured in solo exhibitions at the Broome Street Gallery in New York City, the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, and the Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill, among many others.

Working in paint, handmade paper, and photography, she studied with the late New York abstract expressionist painter Budd Hopkins and the renowned paper artist Paul Wong. Her latest works are archival inkjet prints which are created from details of her own experiments with photography. Using an iPhone camera, she focuses on small areas of light reflected onto and through surfaces of water. She invites the viewer to witness the captured image as a transformation. In her photographs, the natural world is revealed in unexpected yet universal ways, both mysterious and familiar.

Mona Dukess lives and works on the Hudson River in Sleepy Hollow, NY, and on Cape Cod, MA.

This photograph was taken at Snow Pond in Truro, Massachusetts. It reflects and abstracts the sky, the clouds, and the branches hanging over the pond.
