March Artist of the Month

BETH HOFFER'S PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT, "EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY", TO BE ON DISPLAY AT DOVER LIBRARY IN MARCH

The Friends is pleased to announce that the March Artist of the Month is award-winning photographer Beth Hoffer. Her exhibit, titled, "Every Picture tells a Story," features photographs of New England's natural and architectural beauty. Her work will be showcased at the library all month.

Hoffer said her photographs represent her view of the world, and she finds a certain satisfaction in having the opportunity to share this view with others. She also uses her photography to raise funds for local libraries and other organizations.

Although she long enjoyed taking pictures, Hoffer did not publicly show her work until a few years ago. Her love for photography was born when, as a child, she used her mother's Brownie box camera to take her first pictures. In recent years, she began to make note cards, featuring her pictures, for friends and family. With their encouragement, she found the courage to exhibit her work and show it in shops and galleries.

Prior to turning to photography full-time, Hoffer, who has a Masters in Library Science, worked at public and academic libraries, causes she continues to support through her art and fundraising efforts.
