The Holter Museum is pleased to present The Art of Healing, an exhibition that brings together illustrations and cultural objects related to traditional Tibetan medical practices with stunning portraits by Jeff Van Tine. Constructed firmly on tenets of Buddhism and Tibetan spirituality, Tibetan healing practices are holistic and place great significance on balance amongst the many aspects of the human experience. Through medical illustrations, or thangkas, ritual objects, and deeply intimate photographs, this exhibition explores the tightly woven cultural, artistic, and medical practices of Tibetan healing traditions.
As the final exhibit of the 2015 Cultural Crossroads program, the msueum will be hosting a number of related programs and events. An opening reception for the season will be held on Friday, September 4th from 5:30 to 8:00 pm. A lecture is also being scheduled for the morning of Saturday, September 19th, with a Tibetan Family Day also planned for Saturday, September 26th. The exhibit will also feature an interactive mandala; a facilitator will be available on Sunday, October 4th and Saturday, October 10th. Please watch www.holtermuseum.org for details and updates.

Hand Made Palladium Prints at
The Ho Ho Holter! Christmas Sale

This will be my 10th year participating in the Holter Museum's Ho Ho Holter! Christmas Sale, November 12th thru December 31st. This year I am finally showing off some of my hand made Palladium prints. Although I am known for my color photographs, my true love has always been Black and White prints. I compare Color images to a movie and Black and White to the original book. The Black and White image leaves more to the viewer’s imagination.
I am inspired by the beautiful Palladium prints of Edward Curtis and Edward Weston. In creating my Palladium prints I strive for timelessness. I encourage the viewer to question; How old are the images? I invite the viewer to contemplate; How are these prints different from traditional B&W prints? I hope you will also fall in love with Palladium prints
Information on my Process
Archival Hand Coated Palladium Prints
After eight years I am close to perfecting my method of Palladium print making. This finicky 170 year old process has a multitude of variables. I stuck with Palladium print making for a couple of reasons: the prints are the ultimate in archival quality, capable of lasting hundreds of years, and I love the look of the chocolate browns.The process I follow to make these prints follows: In the darkroom I use a paint brush to hand coat acid free French watercolor paper with a light sensitive Palladium solution. I place the negative directly on the coated paper to make a contact print (enlargers do not emit enough light to print Palladium). I expose the paper to light, then develop, wash and dry the print. The print is now stable under all types of conditions, no longer sensitive to light or atmospheric contaminants. The Palladium will remain unchanged even if the paper disintegrates around it. The final step is to frame this archival print using a hinged mat and other acid free materials.

I have a Clark's Nutcracker to thank for helping me spot this Pygmy Owl (and keeping it occupied while I went and grabbed my camera). Some of the images were snapped as the Owl was blinking. Note the translucent eyelids.
