The Dooryard Gallery--Robert J Gehrke

Bob Gehrke's work is "often inspired by the force of nature. Images are juxtaposed to suggest time and space, memory
and experience. I hope to convey a worldview that acknowledges the creative process, respect for underlying structure,
and a reverence for man and nature.

"My interest is in what is beautiful, what engages the imagination. I am attracted to things that have been lost, forgotten,
overlooked, cloistered away. They seem appropriate metaphors for the unconscious forces that often guide our lives.
They are images of mystery and enchantment."
