The Bainbridge Public Library will present “The Art of Natural Bainbridge” in August, and exhibition featuring the artwork of Cameron Snow and Paul Brians.

The illustrations by Snow and photographs from Brians are from the new book, “Natural Bainbridge,” published by the Bainbridge Island Land Trust, which focuses on protecting, sustaining, and appreciating our island’s natural character and special preserved places.

The book is the work of a small team of longtime Land Trust supporters — including Brians and Snow — all of whom volunteered their unique and diverse professional skills for the book.

Brians is a retired Washington State University English professor who, since moving to Bainbridge a decade ago, has done extensive photography for the land trust and other environmentally oriented organizations, and appears in many of the nonprofit’s publications.

Snow is a professional painter, videographer, and ceramic artist who settled on the island 20 years ago. She was particularly drawn to the new native plants and animals that greeted her. Her closely observed and exquisitely detailed work has appeared at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

The exhibition opens during the First Friday Art Walk with an artists’ reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2 at the Bainbridge Public Library. “Natural Bainbridge” will be available for sale at the show, as well as some of the artwork from the book. The book is also available at Eagle Harbor Book Company.

The exhibition will be on display through August at the library, and also on the library website at www.bainbridgepubliclibrary.org.
