Treasure Valley Artists' Alliance

Kelly Frazier

I am a transplant from Kansas and have been taking photos for as long as I can remember. My equipment has ranged from pinhole cameras all the way up to a Pentax 67. I have done a little landscape, portrait and still life. I love abstract photography and find it fun to experiment with different methods of shooting.

Laurie Gibbons

I fell in love with photography as a child but didn't really let my creativity go until I switched to digital in 2006. I found that God has given me eyes that see beauty everywhere I look.

I especially love reflections, light and shadows, old buildings, the scenes and colors of nature, and most any creature I can get to sit still long enough for a photo! I do very little editing. I like to capture my images just the way God made them for me.

Shawna Hanel

Having grown up in a home originally decorated at the height of the psychedelic era, I've spent the remainder of my life in recovery. Initially, my rehabilitation involved the exploration of the works of great masters while studying art history at BSU.

After years of textbook therapy, I made my way to Europe to behold the classics in person. During a year of hitchhiking from one museum to another, I discovered I was not a budding art historian, but rather a fledgling photographer. This led to graduate studies in Australia at RMIT University and eventually to embracing my vividly colorful childhood.

Marjorie McBride

I am a poet and photographer, a fifth generation Idahoan currently living in Boise. I majored in English Creative Writing with an emphasis in poetry and began my photography obsession at the University of Montana. I specialize in stories and poetry with images of travel, landscape, adventure, portrait and lifestyle. My work has been recognized worldwide and can be seen in publications such as National Geographic Adventure, Geo Saison, Sun Valley Travelog, Idaho Yesterdays, Horizon Air Magazine.

Tony Moody

Though I have been "photographing" most of my life and make my living with my camera, when it comes to art I use the term photographer loosely for most of my work. I admire the purists, but being a past painter/sculptor I look at my art somewhat differently. I refer to myself as a "drive-by shooter". I don't plan many shoots but am always looking for inspiration and taking advantage of the moment. Often that moment comes at the computer where I may render and image nearly unrecognizable to the original capture. I call it digital imagery.

Eric Obendorf

From an early age, Eric knew photography would be his life-long passion. He turned that passion into a career by studying photography at the respected Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. Upon graduation, Eric lived, worked, and trained in the largest photographic industry in the world, New York City.  

Eric has shown work in galleries in Idaho and in New York City.

Jose Rodriguez

Jose and Blanca Rodriguez have a commitment to photograph the National Parks and wilderness areas in the lower 48 States, Alaska and Canada. Their passion for the beauty of Nature began many years ago. They were fascinated by the beauty of the Western States. Following the footsteps of master photographers, they developed a passion for scenery and wildlife. They have won numerous awards in photography shows at National and International levels. They believe winning a prize is not important; the real goal is the endless pursuit of perfection to portray the beauty of Nature.

Diane Ronayne

As a photographer, for decades my artistic medium has been light. But digital imaging and PhotoShop have opened up new worlds of surreal expression to explore as I play with color, texture, form and subject.
