Artist of the Month - Casey Hall
Casey Hall is a Maryland-based photographer whose work focuses on wildlife, conservation, and the relationship between nature and expanding human development. Using both film and digital photography, Hall documents fleeting moments in wild spaces while exploring what may be lost as natural habitats continue to shrink.
Visitors to the exhibit can expect a collection of wildlife and environmental photographs that blend documentary realism with artistic interpretation. The work ranges from intimate animal encounters to quiet landscapes shaped by human presence, with an emphasis on creating a sense of connection, curiosity, and conservation awareness.
A U.S. Air Force veteran with over two decades of service, Hall approaches photography with patience and observation, often spending long periods searching for moments that reveal the tension between wildlife and the modern world. His work has previously been exhibited at the Hill Center Gallery in Washington, D.C.
Much of Hall’s work has been shaped by countless hours spent photographing within the Patuxent Research Refuge, as well as travels to remote environments including the Amazon River basin and the wilderness of Alaska. These experiences continue to influence his focus on conservation, disappearing wild spaces, and the importance of preserving meaningful connections to the natural world.

Artists of the Month - ImagineEarth Collective
Theme: Meet Your Neighbors
We share this region with thousands of other species. They navigate the same watersheds, shelter in the same forests, and travel the same flyways overhead — yet most of us have never been properly introduced. Meet Your Neighbors is an invitation to change that.
The work in this exhibition is inspired by the flora and fauna of the DC-Maryland-Virginia area — the green heron hunting at the water's edge, the mussel tucked into the gravel bed of the Patuxent River, the pollinators threading through meadow grasses, the oak holding its ground in sandy soil. These are our neighbors. They live alongside us, depend on the same land and water we do, and have as much claim to this place as anyone.
With this show, we hope to do what the Patuxent Research Refuge itself has always done for the people of this region — spark a genuine curiosity about the living world just outside your door, deepen your sense of connection to it, and leave your spirit a little more nourished than when you walked in. Because the first step toward caring for the natural world is knowing it. And you can't know your neighbors until you've been introduced.
