Monthly Meeting with Beverly Houwing

Los Angeles native Beverly Houwing has lived a life filled with travel. Since the tender age of 8, she has documented outside lands with a focused lens and a curious eye. The African continent became a recurring theme in Beverly's work early on and visits to sites like the Serengeti and Masai Mara evoked for her a sense that she was witnessing history.

Photography and travel continued to play a role in the direction that Beverly took and she returns to Africa frequently to see Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and Zanzibar. Beverly’s photography has been exhibited at UCLA Extension building and she frequently raises money for animal welfare charities by donating her artwork to nonprofits including Best Friends Animal Society. She is also a Adobe Certified Instructor teaching the Creative programs for companies and privately.

Beverly's work is currently being shown at the G2 Gallery, located in Venice, CA in the "Friend or Fo-to" exhibit until December 31st"

    Beverly gave us an excellent program with perky delivery and lots of lovely images. For the finale, she offered tips on photo editing using PhotoShop and other tools. I must admit about 90% of that went over my head! It was good to get the exposure to these tools, though. One particular note - she was very well prepared and managed the presentation deftly. No hunting around for for the slideshow or applications.

    This meeting was particularly interesting because we were able to see a photographer's personal imagery and a short tutorial that was very instructive.

    Beverly made an excellent presentation, accompanied by many interesting images. The organization of the presentation was well thought-out, with images to illustrate her key points. Her show of enthusiasm was enough to make most of the people, attending the meeting, want to grab a camera and go out somewhere and start shooting.
