This stunning anthology explores the many shades of “blue” — from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of the sky, from the serenity of twilight to the melancholy of a storm.
Featuring poetry and visual art inspired by nature’s most evocative hue, “Blue” captures the essence of water, air, emotion, and the ever-changing world around us. Each piece, whether a lyrical meditation on a quiet lake or a vibrant painting of a coastal horizon, invites readers to immerse themselves in the beauty, mystery, and depth of the color blue.

“Personal art collections are always a form of self portraiture and our new exhibition is no exception. It’s prodigious; about wonder, wit, moments, connections to individual artists, and they all have a dreamy and whimsical perspective. The romanticism of the collector shines through. The images also speak about the process of making art and the breadth or modes of expression in contemporary photography. The viewer will notice that there is an optimism throughout the compilation that makes spending time with these photographs delightful. It speaks to Tognarelli’s heart and eye.” — Denise Froehlich, Director of MMPA

“A quiet pilgrimage among the trees revealed the beloved fog that comforted me as a child growing up in the South. Embraced in a vapor evocative of the melancholy light of dusk, it was as though the clouds sighed an amorphous, dewy veil over the lush woods. I felt outside of time as we drove along the winding road, photographing through the windows and myriad layers of love and loss. Moving and still – it was a blink in the continuum of history, in a period like no other in our lifetime.“
– Wendi Schneider
