- ARTIST OF THE MONTH: Stop in at our Newberry Commons Mall location to see an exhibition of spectacular Photography by Meredith Kaminek. From her studio in Central Pennsylvania to a creek in the woods, Meredith Kaminek has cultivated her career as a professional portrait photographer since 1992. Connecting with people to photograph more than what they look like, but who they are, has always been the true passion parallel to her artistic eye. 

Feeling a similar connection with nature, Meredith has branched out to share her perspective of how everyday life and our natural surroundings are genuine gifts...
...so long as you take the time to look at it that way. 

"...as I found it" is Meredith Kaminek's recently published hard cover book, which is a collection of her photographs of nature untouched, coupled with simple thoughts and inspirations that she has written. Stay tuned for news about a Special Book Signing night at our Tasting Room with Meredith.
