Featured Visual Artists-Dan Root and Yuka Imata
Originally from Binghamton, New York, photographer and artist Daniel Root began his career in 1984 doing production stills, video shoots, and portraiture for theater, television, entertainment and corporate clients. In 1987, Daniel began experimenting with fine art photography, photographing abstract forms found in nature and exploring the printing process, using multiple negatives and repeated images on large paper. By 1991, he had eliminated the camera from the process, creating abstract images directly on sheets of color film, on the surface of glass, and recently on copper. Within the last few years Daniel has revisited photography, exploring shadows, non-traditional printing surfaces and composites.
Yuka Imata was born in Sapporo, Japan. She moved to Boston where she earned a bachelor’s degree from Massachusetts College of Art. After spending a semester abroad in Florence, Italy, she decided to move to New York. She gained essential knowledge on painting figures at the Art Students League of New York where she won two prestigious grants to travel throughout Spain for 6 months. Upon her return, she focuses on portrait painting while also exploring other subject matters, such as landscape painting and still life.
