Alfa Art Gallery - Meet the Artist: Cheryl Bomba
Checkout our newest artist interview from our 2024 NBAS Photography Exhibition: "The Art of Perspective."
This week we have an interview with artist and photographer, Cheryl Bomba!
Cheryl Bomba began her photography career as a special education teacher, photographing portraits of her students with autism. Today, her main subjects of interest include small moments from life found in nature, architecture, and sculpture, which she then adds her own creative vision to.
She achieves harmony in her pieces through her use of color, rhythm, and proportion, thus creating new perspectives on everyday subjects. In addition to creating her own work, Bomba strives to help other photographers achieve their visions as well, as the instructor of “iPhonography at Ellarslie,” a hands-on course that teaches the basics and creative potential of photography via the iPhone.

Alfa Art Gallery - Meet the Artist: Dennis Maida
Checkout our newest artist interview from our 2024 NBAS Photography Exhibition: "The Art of Perspective."
This time around, we have interviewed New Jersey native, Dennis Maida!
Photography entered Dennis’s life in 2008 when he was grappling with undiagnosed PTSD following his tour in Iraq in 2007. Since then, photography quickly grew from a pastime to a therapeutic medium, aiding him in finding tranquility and a renewed focus. Initially drawn to landscape and astrophotography, Dennis has since expanded his artistic scope to include minimalism and fine art photography. This evolution in his work mirrors his journey of self-discovery and healing through the lens of his camera.
Dennis then went on to create the f/22 Project, a project designed to assist veterans with PTSD in finding similar solace in photography.

Check out our second artist interview for our photography exhibition: "The Art of Perspective."
This interview features Danny Froyen, a Belgian-born violinist and photographer, whose unconventional style of photography reflects that of abstract paintings. He discovered his passion for photography at a young age when he was given his first camera, a Vöiglander. Froyen accomplishes his goal of “raising the ordinary to the extraordinary” by capturing subjects from everyday life and portraying them from a new perspective. The colors and light of nature combine with digitally edited abstract forms to create painterly compositions that invite us to experience Froyen’s vision and full spectrum of emotions.
Our 2024 NBAS photography exhibition: "The Art of Perspective" is on display at the Alfa Art Gallery of New Brunswick until March 30th, 2024.
