Stratford Resident’s Artwork Featured At Stratford Library

STRATFORD, CT — (From Stratford Library): A display of original work by Stratford photographer Dee Hiatt is the current art exhibit at the Stratford Library.

The exhibit, entitled “Cell Phone Photography Project,” will be featured at the Library through December 2023. It is free and open to the public.

The Stratford Library will be displaying a collection of Hiatt’s cell phone photos in an interactive format. The photos are part of a project to demonstrate the ease and fun for a non-professional to take quality photos that need little to no editing.

Hiatt’s background is in science and the human body, first as a respiratory therapy technician and then as a massage therapist and teacher.

“I have also been drawn to performing as a mime and then as an improvising dancer,” she said. “Having several children and grandchildren has taught me the biggest lessons in improvising, often joyfully, and my husband is a major supporter of my wanderings.”

Hiatt says the more she observes - with her cell phone nearby - the more visual surprises she finds begging to be photographed.

A cell phone photography workshop is planned at the Library on Nov. 6. Details are forthcoming.

Viewing hours for “Cell Phone Photography Project” are: Monday-Thursday: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday-Saturday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday: 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The display is located in the Main Lobby of the Stratford Library, 2203 Main Street in Stratford and will continue through December 2023.
