Artist Reception: A Photonaturalist’s Sense of Wonder
Featuring David Cook
May 8 | 6:00–8:00 PM

Join us for an evening celebrating the work of David Cook, a Texas Master Naturalist whose photography is rooted in a deep passion for the natural world and inspired by The Sense of Wonder by Rachel Carson.

Describing himself as a photonaturalist, Cook goes beyond traditional nature photography—studying the environment and capturing the artistic intersection of light and the living world. His work reflects a personal exploration of wonder and invites viewers to reconnect with nature in meaningful ways.

Carson described a sense of wonder as something enduring—an antidote to boredom, artificiality, and disconnection. This exhibition brings that idea to life through images that encourage curiosity, reflection, and appreciation for the natural world.

We invite you to experience these works, meet the artist, and rediscover your own sense of wonder.
