"Theresa Marshall – Get Out and Live: A Journey to Awareness," a Photography Exhibit at Webster University's May Gallery

Who/What:

Webster University's May Gallery presents the photography of Theresa  Marshall in an exhibit entitled “Get Out and Live: A Journey to  Awareness." The exhibit encompasses both self-awareness of her life  and the lives of those around her. The show includes portraits of  people that were met on a trip in 2005 and includes their audible  statements of what they are doing to get out and live. It also includes images taken from that trip and a recent trip in 2007 from St. Louis through the Southwest to the Grand Canyon. The 2005 trip was a fundraising effort for the Susan G Komen foundation and its success was due to many wonderful contributors and supporters. "I wanted to take camera in hand and open my eyes to the world  surrounding me,” says Marshall, “and I wanted to share that. I hope that sharing the images of things some will never see, and sharing  the experiences will inspire others to do the same. I hope everyone  will enjoy the show and remember to laugh, love and live and take  care of yourselves and each other.”
