Jane Haslam is a photographer and owner of LAND Gallery in Pawling, NY.  Her images capture the drama, unpredictability, and magnificence of the Catskills, Hudson Valley, and Housatonic Valley.  They capture the emotional depth of nature across the ever-changing seasons.  From soft pastels and dramatic skies to the stark beauty of winter and silent sunrises that few ever see, these images reveal a deep connection to place and an unrelenting pursuit of light.  LAND Gallery features Haslam’s photographs, as well as those of other local photographers and artisans.  It will be reopening on March 28th with a special sale of Haslam’s work.  For more information:  janehaslamphotography.com
