The photographs of Buckley artist Chandra Nichols will be displayed at the city of Enumclaw’s Gallery 2012 beginning Thursday.

Nichols notes she was raised a quarter-mile from the Snoqualmie River and has always been surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty.

“Capturing that beauty has always been a passion of mine,” she wrote in an artist’s statement. “I enjoy finding the time to explore and photograph this incredibly beautiful part of the world we call home.

“As a photographer, my goal is to capture the true and simple beauty that can be found almost everywhere we look. From sunsets, to seascapes, to falling snow, I try to present a unique perspective of everything that catches my eye.”

Nichols’ photographs will be displayed until Dec. 4.

Gallery 2012 is in council chambers at Enumclaw City Hall, 1339 Griffin Ave. Hours for the exhibition space are 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
