Photographer Ruth Raskin's Work on Display at the Mamaroneck Artists Guild Gallery

Photographer Ruth Raskin will exhibit photographs from a two-week western road trip at the Mamaroneck Artists Guild Gallery in Larchmont from April 1 to 26. The show, titled "Road Trip: New Mexico"  is part of a two-person photography show that also features a study of Hungarian Gypsies by Rita Baunok of South Salem. The gallery will hold a reception on Saturday, April 5, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

"This show is the culmination of a two-week road trip I took last year," said Scarsdale resident Raskin. "I shot 13 rolls of black and white film over the 1,500 miles my husband and I covered." Her trip started in Albuquerque and ended in Santa Fe. White Sands, Roswell, Santa Rosa and Taos were some of her many stops. Raskin does all of her own printing in her home darkroom.

In addition to the Mamaroneck Artists Guild, Raskin is a member of Soho Photo Gallery in New York City, Westchester-based The Ground Glass, The Greenwich Art Society and The New Rochelle Art Association. Among her awards was a "First Place in Photography" at the 2011 Armonk Outdoor Art Show. She studied at the International Center of Photography and the Center for the Arts at WCC.

The Mamaroneck Artists Guild Gallery is located at 126 Larchmont Ave., Larchmont. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, from noon to 5 p.m. See more of Raskin's work at: www.ruthraskin.com
