FARMINGTON — Starting on Nov. 8  SugarWood Gallery, 248 Broadway, will feature new fine art photography by Ramona du Houx. The open house will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9.

Ramona du Houx creates fine art photography that looks like watercolor paintings. Her new work will include images of landscapes of Maine’s western mountains, fields and flowers created with the technique she first discovered in 1979.

She is currently represented by Fukurou Gallery, 20 Main St., Rockland, which is owned by the Solon Center for Research and Publishing and Gallery Storks of Tokyo, Japan.

She uses the camera with a painter’s eye. Her technique uses movement to create a sense of wonder through colors, textures, memories, energy and the seasons. Everything within the viewfinder becomes visibly interconnected when objects merge with the motion of the camera as the image, the “lightgraph,” is taken.

In 2005 du Houx started a news magazine, Maine Insights, which continues to this day. She worked as a photographer for the 2008 DNC convention in Denver, and photographed President Barack Obama’s second Inauguration in 2012.

SugarWood Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
