Ballerinas and Butterflies Exhibit

Photographer David Wonderling exposes both the beauty of nature and determined skill in this exhibit.

Wonderling invites his audience to study the juxtaposition between the graceful beauty of nature’s butterflies and the similar exquisite grace of a ballerina’s training, dedication, and determination.

Having photographed a variety of subjects, Wonderling felt these two were his most challenging projects. Neither butterflies nor ballerinas hold still for long!

The images of ballerinas featured in his exhibit were captured at the Studio of Ballet Arts in Sandy Spring and the butterflies at the Wings of Fancy exhibit at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton.

The opening reception will be on September 9 from 2-4 pm with a talk on butterfly habitats starting at 4 pm.
