How I see Us- Art Exhibition by Lydia Douglas   Lydia Douglas is a semi-retired art teacher, and a full-time fine art photographer and independent filmmaker. “My life’s work is to make work that makes people feel happy and empowered.” True to the medium of silver gelatin image making, Ms. Douglas shoots and prints all her own black and white film. Her work distinguishes itself because it arrests the eye and spirit with its gentle, poetic quality that captures the essence of her subjects. This exhibition displays examples of works from a variety of national and international shows in which she has participated.
