Image by Wright Schickli Selected by A Smith Gallery

Ellen Gilkerson | Published on 7/12/2025

Shattered Dreams, an image by Wright Schickli, was selected for inclusion in the landscapes exhibition at the A Smith Gallery in Johnson City, Texas. Photographers were invited to submit work that reflected the theme of landscape – scenery, countryside, topography, land, terrain, environment, outlook, vista, panorama, view. Wendi Schneider, a Denver-based artist, photographer, and collector, was the juror. The exhibition will run from July 18 through August 28. There will be an online reception / YouTube video on Saturday, July 26, at 3 pm CDT. The exhibition may be seen online at https://asmithgallery.com/exhibitions/landscapes-2/.

 

Shattered Dreams is one of 27 images from the exhibition that made the greatest impression on Gallery Directors Amanda Smith and Kevin Tully. It will be included in A Smith Gallery’s limited edition hard-bound book for the landscapes exhibition.


Wright says:  Bullet holes have always intrigued me, especially when found a few blocks from home like in this scene from midtown Palo Alto. The underlying story of what happened there continues to be elusive to my camera and stirs my curiosity. While the truth may never be known, I hope viewers like me continue to wonder what, and why, dreams may have been shattered there.
