On Easter Sunday, De Anza student and La Voz photographer Lynn Edwards treated patrons of the Coffee Society to a bold and somewhat surreal showing of photographic and acrylic art.

“Wilfredo Castano, my instructor, encouraged me to make my photo project up to the quality of a show,” said Edwards who spent a lot of time in the photography lab manipulating her images in Photoshop.

Along with her friend, visual artist Kathy Stutz-Taylor, Edwards lined the coffeehouse walls with a grand display saturated with colors, textures and haunting half-seen shapes.

The show ran the gamut of expression from the merely beautiful to the hypnotically intriguing.

If art aficionados come to this show expecting simple landscape photography or portraits in the vein of Ansel Adams or Georgia O’Keeffe, they would be in for a surprise. Stutz-Taylor and Edwards are unafraid to take their own road and explore the hidden, brilliant truth behind the mundane.
