Haines Gallery Update, Linda Connor

Welcome to the seventh edition of Haines Gallery's Artist Digest.

Once a week, we focus our attention on the work of a single artist, bringing you a carefully curated mix of content that invites you to explore their practice in depth.

Today's Digest spotlights the American photographer Linda Connor, whose extraordinary work as both an artist and educator has influenced generations of creators in the Bay Area and beyond.
About the Artist
Photo: Stu Levy
Celebrated photographer Linda Connor’s peripatetic practice explores the spiritual and natural worlds in subjects that range from sacred sites to the shimmering night sky. Her recent works, printed on aluminum, bring an ethereal quality to her exquisite images. Leading institutions have exhibited and collected her work, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; George Eastman Museum, Rochester, NY; the Smithsonian, Washington, D.C; the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, IL; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Min­neapolis Institute of Arts, MN; and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Her monograph Odyssey: The Photographs of Linda Connor chronicles over thirty years of her work.

Books
Two Lives and a Dream
by Marguerite Yourcenar
"I am currently rereading An Obscure Man from this collection of stories. It's a lot about being alone. It takes place in the 17th century during a tuberculosis epidemic. Though she never really says it, the main character has contracted tuberculosis, and eventually goes to live on an island, alone. Yourcenar was a grim and minute kind of writer. I was happy to reread it, and seems perfect for now."
From the Vault
In this series of image shared by the artist, we take a look at some moments from Linda's fifty year career as a photographer and educator.

Jewel Morris, well known for her Pet Philanthropy passed due to the Corona Virus, Our condolances to her family

Jewel Morris
(December 30, 1947 – March 18, 2020)
To family, friends and Pet Philanthropy Circle supporters,
    My wife, Jewel Morris passed away on March 18th, 2020. It was sudden and unexpected… one minute she was alive and apparently healthy and the next minute she was gone. Jewel died from an embolism in the lungs. Fortunately, she did not suffer.
    Because of the COVID -19 virus, only the immediate family will be in attendance. Jewel will be laid to rest in her family burial plot in Sweetwater, Tennessee on May 17th, 2020. However, we will have a memorial service via Zoom sometime in the near future.
    Friends, family, and all the people who knew and loved her will be notified by Facebook and/or email of the date and time sometime in advance. May my lovely Jewel have eternal peace. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
