Luba was an ambassador gently drawing photographers to her and our club. In a world of round pegs and round holes – and the occasional square peg, Luba was a butterfly. She defied categorization – quietly moving among us with a smile here and a word of encouragement there, making us better artists and a stronger community.

And all the while she created works of startling originality. While we work at creating professional quality prints, Luba crafted tableaux with her signature flipped images on used coffee filters. While we explore software and apps she was constructing three dimensional illuminated models.

The initial competition was held May 10, 2017.
