Dru Donovan Work from her oeuvre. “Young American photographer Dru Donovan’s photographs are ambiguous and sensitive and compelling.

Maryanne Casasanta Work from suffices to decide if the necessary mood is there. “Maryanne Casasanta’s work offers questions to unanswered histories and contemplates the elusive exchange between art and commonplace.
