New Art Exhibit for December 2005 At the Mountain Arts Center in Prestonsburg Runs December 1 – January 3 Dean Hill - Capturing the Spirit Dean is a photographer who captures the natural beauty of Appalachian Kentucky. He grew up working, exploring, and wandering throughout the ridge tops and hollows of Eastern Kentucky. Life on a tobacco farm has given Dean a down-to-earth understanding of the fragile beauty of nature. Later years were spent working and traveling in Southeast Asia. There Dean experienced cultures that opened his eyes to a new and different way of seeing. Today the result of these life-long experiences can be seen throughout his photographs. Dean is a member of the Kentucky Guild of Artists and the Lexington Art League. His recently published book, “The Spirit of Appalachian Kentucky,” is the result of over seven years of photography showcasing the natural areas. The book has been given glowing reviews by the Lexington Herald Leader, the Paintsville Herald, The Voice Tribune, and Appalachian Heritage. The book was also nominated for the 2004 South East Booksellers Association’s nonfiction award. Dean and his wife, Karen, live at the upper end of Paintsville Lake. He is pursuing several photographic projects to showcase the landscapes and culture of Appalachian Kentucky and beyond. GALLERY HOURS: MONDAY – FRIDAY 10 AM TO 6 PM; SATURDAY 10 AM – 4 PM; CLOSED SUNDAY GALLERY OPEN DURING EACH PERFORMANCE. G.
