Introspective Solitude highlights Christine Hauber ’ s “ Pause . Breathe . Feel .” exhibition at the Desert Light Gallery .

Award winning photographer Christine Hauber ( www . ChristineHauber . com ) opened her exhibit , Pause . Breathe . Feel . on January 1 , 2017 , and as she puts it , “ it is a study in the replenishing energy and solitary strength of the desert .”

A photographer with a twenty-year track record Christine finds herself beyond a crossroad she leaped over several years ago when she left a successful portrait business to pursue fine art .
“ It ’ s always the artist ’ s dilemma . I had grown frustrated with the mundane nature of portrait photography . While I love the people and getting to know them , the final delivery is , for the most part , the same – happy faces and great makeup . To be totally honest , I felt creatively stifled .”
