Anna Bier Gallery
Rene Bechard
Photography – Journey through a Bubble
The Anna Bier Gallery will present photographer, Rene Bechard, at Henry
St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, NOVEMBER 4, 2017;
the exhibit will be open from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. with an artist
presentation at 7 p.m. The landscape of a soap bubble will quickly
enchant you. As you begin to move your eyes over the patterns, you
discover recognizable figures and shapes that capture the imagination.
When you realize that these images are not drawn or digitally enhanced
but that they are only common soap bubbles, you will begin to
understand how unique, distinctive and beautiful they are.
Rene Bechard is a local photographer from Arcanum, Ohio. She was born
in Connecticut and moved to Ohio in 1999. Soon after her move she
rediscovered her love of photography. Rene began shooting nature
settings, weddings and still objects. Then one day while blowing
bubbles with her grandson, the idea came to her to see if she could
capture the beautiful colors that seem to float on a soap bubble. After
many attempts of using various lighting techniques, she was able to
construct a lighting rig and capture the intense colors and shapes that
swirl upon soap bubbles. Rene’s work has been published in The Sun
Magazine, various local newspapers and website blogs. She has won
photography competition awards and contests. She lives in Arcanum, Ohio
with her 9 cats, 3 dogs and 1 husband.
The Bechard exhibit is sponsored by the generous donations of our
