“I’m really excited about this new show. I’ve been working on pieces that use artificial intelligence in really unique ways, and I think people are going to love them,” says photographer and digital artist Christopher V. Sherman. “And with regards to my photography, my drone is usually my ‘go to’ camera. It’s a powerful tool enabling me to capture amazing compositions. I can’t wait to see the reactions these photos and digital images receive.”

“We’re thrilled to have Christopher’s work on display at our Main and Club Room Galleries,” says Zhen E Rammelsberg, Curator of the Visual Galleries at C.S.P.S.
