Beach Central Library Windows Gallery. The event runs through August

gallery throughout the year.
Location: Central Library 7111
Talbert Ave., Huntington Beach, CA. Hours: Regular library hours.
The Eclectic Eye, a photo exhibit
by Huntington Beach photographer Anita Brace, showcases the artist's
works and world travels. From a variety of faces to buildings, nature
and scenics, Brace captures people, places and things with the keen of
someone who sees the world and its visual elements through the
skillful lens of a camera.
From an early age, Brace was
fortunate to share her mother's passion for art (her mom was a painter),
and the native Californian began composing images in her mind, as well
examining and learning about light.
Fulfilling several careers, the
accountant by day, travels extensively around the globe, always taking
at least one camera to document the people and images that not only
inspire Brace, but also serve as material for her next gallery show.
In Huntington Beach, Brace's work
has appeared in several galleries and shows, including a permanent
exhibit at City Hall.
Brace's passion for travel and
photography has taken her to most continents. While visiting, she often
takes tools of the trade to soften her audience to the camera, and gain
cooperation. In some countries she may take balloons for the kids (easy
to pack, lightweight, etc.), and many times she represents an
organization near and dear to her heart, Soroptimist International.
Fulfilling that non-profit organization's mission, she has presented
shoeboxes filled with useful items to villages where the needs are great
and resources are scant. Brace states that she follows several passions
during her trips around the globe. She says that while she enjoys the
travel and photography, she also hopes to create goodwill during her
journeys.
