Jamie Forbes shows her Environmental Photographs in in Two Exhibitions March 26, and 28th.

Jamie Forbes  exhibitions this week at the The Moriches Bay Art Alliance Group Show at the Brookhaven Town Hall Gallery, 1 Independence Hill, Farmingville, NY 11738, Thursday March 26, 3-7 PM, and the  Mill Pond House, 176 Mills Pond rd. , St James. 

  As a photographer, Jamie Forbes steps into each moment, capturing the intrinsic energies exchanged between her subjects and her camera. Forbes’s goal is to offer viewers not only a historical record but also to reveal the deeper intent present within every photograph. Through her Eco-Art perspective, both in portraiture and scenic imagery, Forbes seeks to initiate a dialogue between the viewer and the artist. This conversation is designed to promote the concept that “we live with others” and are all participants in sharing and shaping our environment.

Forbes’s images possess a timeless quality of interconnectedness, conveying the subtle, underlying conversations that tell the story of the environment and the complex exchange between the natural world and the boundaries imposed by human cultivation. As Forbes states, “The images represent a story of my encounters that state the narrative understanding between the subject and photographer.” Her work is informed by five decades of experience in the international art community, where she has contributed as a publisher, gallerist, writer, and photographer.

“The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.” ― Neil deGrasse Tyson

My personal lens is shaped by my grandmother, Caroline Elliott, Manzanita Kumeyaay, 1894 1994. She seeded my interest in who I am, where I came from, and the possibilities of our future when she told me ~Jamie one day there will not be enough water for all. Don’t’ Waste It~ Leading me though my backyard observing the ChulaVista San Diego desert, my grandmother told me “Once all this land was ours”, I never forgot the desert as the resonance of the land was laid out before me, Jamie Forbes, Manzanita, Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, For my mother, Thelma Farley, and Grandmother Caroline Elliott, 

These  “Galactic Dust SunSet Series” captures exact moments in time observed in photographs emphasizing the poignant beauty illuminating the landscape taken at moment of the day’s final rays at sunset on the Creek. I recorded daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly cycles changes seen in the land-skyscapes.  The concept of galactic dust connecting me to the universe opened a doorway from which to view my observations reflected in Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them “ I became a part of a timeless interconnectedness to the landscape telling a story of the complex exchange between the natural world and the limits we impose upon it. Observing the environment, I employed John Muir as an environmentalist he states, “The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness’’. I observed the sacredness of nature through the lens of as a Native American, environmentalist, artists, and professional astrological perspective.

The Scandivian House Feautres 21 contomporary artistst exhibiting in Inside Voices,Outside Light Perspective On West Nordic Art

My Opinion is: The Scandinavian House continues it's diverse dialogue in the exhibition _Inside Voices, Outside Light Perspectives On West Nordic Light~ employing image by artists from communities to demonstrate the preserved their  cultural identities. This exhibition encourages Art to be used as the voice of cultural exchange. Interestingly people around the world travel to see, shoot photos capturing the beauty capturing of the etherial beauty of light, and isolation seen in the Western Nordic regions of Scandinavia. The  FineArt Magazine blog promotes multicultural voices display difference allowing for an open dialogue of exchange. Jamie Forbes, Publisher Co-Owner, Fineartmagazineblog.bogspot, and SunStormFineArtMagazine. Visit About Membership Food Shop Support   INSIDE VOICES, OUTSIDE LIGHT  PERSPECTIVES ON WEST NORDIC ART A group exhibition featuring 21 contemporary artists from the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, and Norway opens April 18 at Scandinavia House. New York, NY—The American-Scandinavian Foundation is pleased to announce Inside Voices, Outside Light: Perspectives on West Nordic Art, opening April 18, 2026 at Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America. A group exhibition featuring 21 contemporary artists from the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland and Norway, Inside Voices, Outside Light highlights the unique perspective of these North Atlantic territories, who share cultural and historical ties while each possessing distinct identities and communities. With works ranging across photography, paintings, textiles, film, and sculpture, including three site-specific installations, the exhibition also showcases the diversity and complexity of the region.  Participating artists include Morten Andenæs (NO), The Arctic Creatures (IC), Per  Barclay (NO), Ask Bjørlo (NO), Jóhan Martin Christiansen (FO), Helgi Þorgils Friðjónsson (IC), Inuk Silis Høegh (GL), Hansina Iversen (FO), Rannva Kunoy (FO), Nils Erichsen Martin (NO), Trine Lise Nedreaas (NO), Camille Norment (NO), Lisbeth Karline Poulsen (GL), Ragna Róbertsdóttir (IC), Agnieszka Sosnowska (IC), Inuuteq Storch (GL), Silja Strøm (FO), Steina and Woody Vasulka (IC), and Jens Dam Ziska (FO).  A special Opening Day Celebration on April 18 will feature a Curator Walkthrough (1 PM), a screening of The Green Land, directed by Inuk Silis Høegh (2 PM), and a Book Launch and Artist Panel with Kinna Poulsen, Hansina Iversen, Jóhan Martin Christiansen, and Emily Stoddart (3 PM). On view through June 20, 2026, ongoing related programming will include Gallery Tours and more.   Download Press Release Download Image-Sheet Download Hi-Res Images Connected through geography and culture including Norse history, reliance on marine resources, and shared Arctic/maritime focus, the West Nordic countries form a distinct sub-region within the larger Nordic area. While Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands all share colonial ties with Denmark, each country has its own culture and identity, with locations closer to neighbors in the west: Canada, the U.S., the UK and Ireland. Each region also presents a unique perspective. Borrowing from the title of a collection of poetry by Icelandic poet, translator and film director Sigurður Pálsson, Inside Voices, Outside Light brings together a diverse spectrum of work ranging from the haunting, almost surreal, and authentic images in Inuk Silis Høegh’s four-part film The Green Land, to the high energy and humor of the artist collective The Arctic Creatures, to the intricate and delicate textile tapestries of Ask Bjørlo. With current geopolitical conditions renewing interest in the area, some works also confront misconceptions. Lisbeth Karline Poulsen depicts resistance and strength in reaction to the current annexation threats, while Trine Lise Nedreaas explores our shared experience of a temporal existence in a relentless eternity.  The exhibition also features site-specific work by Camille Norment, Hansina Iversen and Jóhan Martin Christiensen.  Organized by ASF, Inside Voices, Outside Light is the second in a series of three exhibitions celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Scandinavia House — which has welcomed over 3 million visitors since opening its doors in October 2000 — and continues a year-long series of anniversary events. The exhibition has been curated by Emily Stoddart, Manager of Exhibitions at Scandinavia House, with the support of three curator consultants: Karin Hellandsjø (Norway), Kinna Poulsen (Faroe Islands), and Pari Stave (Iceland).

My opinion is: The Artists Christian Pietratpiana brings forth the very current topic joining art and the current international affairs in his exhibition on the Frailty of life. Art brings a connection of mental image and emotional quotient to a  discussion about life. Art projects like this in the age of intolerance is a welcome relief valve.

Life is Very Funny!!! Long Ago and Far away I attended the Red Cross Ball hosted by Prince Albert 11 of Monaco in Monte-Carlo at the invitation of Nall Hollis.

Life is Very Funny!!! Long Ago and Far away I attended the Red Cross Ball hosted by Prince Albert 11 of Monaco in Monte-Carlo at the invitation of Nall Hollis.

Nall Hollis on the center and Chip Cooper with a camera in hand
looking out over Monte Carlo

As it would happen, today back to back I  posted below releases from Nall Hollis to announce the opening of the Nall museum on Oct 7th. and Prince Albert of Monaco's environmental for sustainability Gala and auction, the 28th by Purdy auctions.  Pics below show some of the events during that trip I made to Nall's art events and the Red Cross Ball. I am the brunette of twenty years ago. Other than the fabulous Nall himself and photographer par excellence Chip Cooper forgive me I don't recall the names of my traveling buddies. 

The is a reason to a-lite the aforementioned is Prince Albert has lent his considerable weight and those of celebrities to advance environmental causes. The inaugural "Monte Carlo Gala for the Global Ocean" will honor Leonardo DiCaprio for his outstanding actions for the preservation of our Planet. Uma Thurman, Goldie Hawn, Andy Garcia, Kevin Spacey, Eva Longoria, Madonna, Joe Pesci, Martin Scorsese, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tobey Maguire, Enric Sala and Terry Tamminen are the Event Chairs, confirming their commitment to this important cause.

The coincident shared this post to highlight my own involvement in championing environmental issues. See the link to " Artists for Peace and the Environment" hosted by Michael Lang at Woodstock '99.

Fine Art Magazine - SuperMoon Movie

On July 22^nd as I lay in bed the moon was rising from
my bedroom window.  The muses called. I
shot 180 images of the super moon at around 8:50 and shot for an hour and 20
minutes. Many of these images contained a second phantom moon with in the photo
lending mystery.

This night “my” Super Moon did not peek through the clouds;
she blazed her light with an intensity I had not felt or seen before. I was
stirred and moved to record the impression I was experiencing, new and old as
time at once, rich and full…

A skeletal bare bones video of just the images has been
edited, musical score has been written by Michael Ernst and the process has
begun to produce a documentary short movie. I have begun interviews of wonderful
and strong woman, archetypical heroin’s who inspire, fueling each of us to
broaden our artistic creative walk in life.
I have no preconceived Idea as to what my interviewees should say;
rather I am in quest of finding what inspires each individual to speak through
the arts.

My images were shot with a Conon t41 using three different
lenses, 18-135, 40mm, 50-250. All three captured a double image of the moon to
a greater or lesser degree from my veranda-facing south as the moon traversed
the night sky. Not all images contain the multiple moons. I moved the tripod several
times.  Shot from differing positions and
using different lensed, many times the same phantom of a second moon occurs.

My mind began to race, as I shot, seeing what was capturing,
I reflected from the explanations for the Lilith, the black moon and other
stories I had heard over many years involving the feminine divine. I am artist,
not a scientist. This dialogue is about the possibilities the feminine mystique
holds for the heroic, every day actions of women in today’s world who touch the
sky and hold up the Vaulted Ceiling of Creation daily with ordinary or
extraordinary acts of heroism. Much like the Egyptian Goddess Nut, women hold
their universal shies aloft.


Part  Part II will be coming shortly,
Thanks to all who watch , Jamie
