Chase the Light Pop Up Exhibition & Auction
Photography Center Northwest
June 20,2026
I’m starting the summer with some exciting news…my first pop-up gallery show.
This past weekend, I participated in Photographic Center Northwest’s (PCNW) annual Chase the Light summer pop-up gallery exhibition and fundraiser, celebrating photography and community.
A pre-event commenced June 13-14, when people across the globe made photographs on the same weekend, centered on the theme “Chase the Light.”
Participants then submitted up to five images from the weekend shoot for review by industry professionals. Jurors included:
Thom Sempere
Associate Curator of Photography Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art University of Oregon
Judy Lee
Artist/Founder of weBelong
Inti St. Clair
Lifestyle Photographer Represented by Homestead Creatives
Erin Spencer
Gallery Manager at PCNW
Kris Graves
Founder of Kris Graves Project
Victor Yanez Lazcano
Assistant Professor of Photo/Media at the University of Washington
Amyia Chea-Carroll
Programs Coordinator at Seattle Art Museum
After review, jurors selected one image per participant for inclusion in a pop-up gallery exhibit and print sale held Saturday, June 20th.
Behind the scenes, a host of dedicated ambassadors helped spread the word, share their passion, and invite enthusiasm about this event, including: Rachel Demy, Colin Fox, Jenny Hansen Das, Harini Krishnamurthy, Sol Moravia-Rosenberg, Emmett Orgass, Brenda Pederson, and Anna Starr.
I’m honored that my image “Lumière” garnered inclusion in the show, amidst the brilliant work of so many other images makers worldwide. Happy summer, all – and keep chasing the light!
