Landscape photos like this by Laura Scriven will be on sale at The Global Marketplace.
After living in Korea and Italy and spending extensive amounts of time in Thailand, Morocco, China and Argentina, Laura Scriven has built an impressive portfolio of photography.
Scriven, a native of Chelsea, has spent much of her adult life traveling and living around the world, all the while taking impressive images of every life in other countries.
Now back in Chelsea, Scriven and her work will be featured at The Global Marketplace.
Scriven’s work focuses on important stories about international life and for that reason Kevin Frahm, owner of marketplace, felt her photos needed to be exhibited.
“Her photographs look beyond the everyday to see the uniqueness and specialness of the world around her,” Frahm stated in a press release. “Because of her extensive travels, she sees beauty in some of the most ordinary and extraordinary things and tries to capture them in her photos to share with others. We, at The Global Marketplace, are certain you will enjoy the world through her eyes.”
Much of Scriven’s work on display at the fair trade store features images from Argentina during 2011 but a few are also from Korea, including a personal favorite of a school of Confucianism.
“I had lived in this town for about 12 years and passed by this area every day and never stopped,” Scriven said of the photo. “It took a friend of a friend who was touring the area to get me out there, and it was simply amazing.”
Scriven’s photos will be on display at The Global Marketplace, 115 W. Middle St., with photos ranging in size from card-sized for $3 to 8-by-10 for $40.
