Fine Art Photography by Liz Ferguson

Fifteen year resident, Liz Ferguson, is a former Anchorage PTA president and School Council member. Through the lens of her camera, Liz has discovered an entirely new and creative view of our community's treasures. Each photograph is personally edited and printed by Liz, with high quality, archival inks and papers designed to maintain its quality and color for many generations. Each print is signed and numbered,  framed and matted with acid-free materials, and adorned with Liz's personal and unique "Red Dot".

This view of the Wagner porch artistically represents Anchorage's age, depth and history. The pealing paint reveals additional layers beneath and reminds us of the generations of families that have made this city their home.
