Moon over Virgin Mesa

Piece description from the artist

The morning sun lights up Virgin Mesa, named after the Virgin Mary by Spanish settlers. The moon is about to set, and gives a stark focal point and balance to the weight of cliffs formed by volcanic ash flow. Tentrocks cluster at the base of the cliffs, formed by the erosion of the volcanic tuff stone.

About Theodore Greer

Jemez Springs, NM

Theodore Greer was born in Gallup, New Mexico, where his parents and grandparents ran trading posts on the Navajo and Zuni Indian reservations.

He studied photography and printmaking at San Francisco Art Institute and at the University of New Mexico. He has degrees in archeology and education, and has worked at innumerable jobs over the years. He has traveled and photographed throughout the western U.S., and in Mexico, South America and Europe. He has shown in Jemez Springs, Taos, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Seattle, Oakland and San Francisco.

He uses photography to share his vision of the natural world that forms the basis for all life on Earth. He is fortunate to live in the midst of nature, and hopes that through his photographs, others who may not be as fortunate can gain a positive mental and physical effect through his images. Currently he has hundreds of his photographs hanging in hospitals in the Albuquerque area, that provide a soothing, hopeful environment for both patients and healthcare providers alike.
