John will be presenting a photographic work at Foto Forum Santa Fe. Those who are familiar with John and his work know he started as a photographer before he started to investigate the processes used to create the lenses in his cameras, which eventually led to his personal development of Optical Glass sculptures. He has never taken a break from his first passion, photography. We have always been interested in presenting new aspects of light, whether in glass or through photography. The physical output in photography, beyond the act of image capture, is where our hearts lie. We are hoping to find many kindred spirits gathered at Foto Forum. This show opens on First Friday, August 7, 2026 and runs through the end of September.

Please join us in Santa Fe on Friday July 3 for the opening reception.
John Healey is presenting a couple of new small sculptures that he completed this year. They are a revisiting of some older works, but with a new vibe. John is calling this “Remix”, like sampling from favorite music tracks. We strongly urge you to take time to visit the summer exhibition, preferably in person, it is open through August 28, 2026. We are definitely planning to attend the opening reception this Friday, so we hope to see familiar faces there.
