About the Artist
Before retiring in 240$, Chris blethered was aSpeech-Language-Pathologist in the public
schools. Beyond his Masters Degree in Speech Pathology & Audiology, he holds an Educational
Specialist Degree in Special Education and a Doctorate in Special Education & Rehabilitation.
He is also an Assistive Technology Propfessional (ATP), developing solutions for disabled
individuals. For a year, he taught Speech Pathology students at Eastern New Mexico University.
With that experience, he realized that his heart was in the public schools. During his 35-years of
service, he has worked in Idaho, Florida, New Mexico and for eight years in London.
Other Activities:
While in England he visited the rehearsal of a barbershop chorus ... and stayed. He has been
singing with Barbershop Choruses for almost l 5-years. During most of this time, has held _
leadership positions. Chris Was the Contest General Chairman for the 200$ Evergreen District
Contest /Convention. The Show of Champions was promoted as Harmony by the River, and
was staged at the Morrison Center. It was such a success that the District Executive Board
welcomed the Chordsmen's bid, to host the 2013 Contest in Boise. Chris currently sings with
the Boise Chordsmen. For 2009 and 2010, he is also the Master of his Masonic bodge,
ASHLAR #29, in Nampa.
Photography:
Chris has always enjoyed taking pictures, which typically ended-up in a shoebox. In 240$, he
took a photograph in the Olypmpic National Park, Upon seeing an enlargement of this
photograph, Chris decided that he should really `do something' with his photography. This
exhibit is an initial result of that decision,
Letter of Intent
Greetings Meridian Arts Commission members;
I am interested in exhibiting my photographic works in the 2010 Initial Point Gallery Series, ~.
Theme of the Proposed Displace Beauty Surrounds us
Every day, we step-over, walk-by and overlook exquisite, ever-changing displays of color and
shape. Examples of such naturally occurring displays include;
- reflections in windows, water and the colorful curved surfaces of cars.
- random displays of curb-blown autumnal leaves.
- Snow-sprinkled and ice-encrusted leaves beside your car
- a pile of abandoned car doors in a junk yard
- power poles, silhouetted by the setting sun
- the changing landscape from your airplane window(i.e,, dormant volcano, Palouse landscape)
This exhibit presents a variety of such captured displays. The artist's intention is awakening the
patron's eyes, to the beauty which surrounds them in their daily lives,
This Exhibit will consist of
40-photographs, (image size 11" X 14") with a
brief description and reference image*
The framed size will be 16" X 20"
And priced at
$150,00 {mounted and unframed).
* Small Reference images and Descri tions:
Beside all exhibition photographs, the artist will provide a brief description.
For the more abstract photographs, the author will display a 4X6 image of the place where the
photograph was taken. The artist hopes these smaller images, will help to open patrons' eyes to
the hidden beauty in their own daily lives.
Each of these smaller images will have a movable cover. This will allow patrons the option of
enjoying the larger image, without reference to the `whole scene' from which it came.
Any,publicity which the artist plans to undertake, if selected:
Based on my association with the following groups, I'll notify their memberships of this Gallery
exhibition:
-barbershoppers and Masonic Lodges in the Treasure Valley
-patrons of Barbershop shows.
-all area Speech Language Pathologists {ISI-IA members)
- teachers in the Nampa and Meridian School Districts.
-SingleSteps, an area activities group
