On View August 18-31, 2025
Reception Friday, August 22, 6-9pm
The Firefly Artists is proud to present Narratives in Motion: The Evolution of a Storyteller, a solo exhibit by award-winning photographer, digital photo editor, and award-winning independent documentary filmmaker Jennifer A. Uihlein.
In this captivating collection of documentary art photography, Uihlein invites viewers on a visual journey through time, place, and memory, highlighting spaces and capturing fleeting moments locally and abroad. From luminous vintage trains and forgotten urban spaces to iconic lighthouses, coastal textures, architectural details, and mandela digital art, each piece in the exhibit is rich with layered narratives.
Narratives in Motion explores the power of visual storytelling — capturing moments of transition and resilience, and revealing the poetry embedded in the everyday. The exhibit reflects Uihlein’s evolution as an artist and storyteller, bringing together her love of photojournalism, documentary filmmaking, and fine art.
Please join us for the Artist’s Reception on Friday, August 22, from 6 PM – 9 PM; come meet the artist, explore The Firefly Gallery, and enjoy some spirits generously provided by Twisted Cow Distillery.
