Dennis Toney to be featured Artist
On Friday, November 6, 2015, Coastal Douglas Arts & Business Alliance (CDABA) is
pleased to feature Dennis Toney, a photographer, photographic designer, and
educator, has taught, studied and photographed in Oregon for 47 years. The event will be held from 5 pm to 7 pm at the Lower Umpqua Hospital.
Born and raised in northeastern Oregon he has taught at Heppner High School, Blue Mountain Community
College, the University
of Oregon and Reedsport
High School.
Using 8X10, 4X5, and 35 MM
formats, he approaches subjects without preconceived ideas, hopefully with a
fresh clear mind. As he studies an object he is drawn closer and closer as he
engages the surface. Surfaces reveal to him a new level of “seeing,” a new
adventure and a new appreciation for common subjects.
He quotes, “My images are question
asking rather than answer giving. I allow the viewer an experience which could
hopefully enrich their lives.”
His work has been displayed in
both solo and group showings. His photographs have become part of public
art and of art collections and patrons.
Dennis lives with his wife Cindy,
his Border Collie Holly and his English Shepherd Hazel, in Reedsport, Oregon.
