The Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center announces the opening of a new exhibit at the museum, Lincolnville Thru Time, featuring work by local artist Theresa Segal. Segal is a southern photographer who earned her B.A. in Art at Flagler College and studied photography at the Southeast Center for Photography at Daytona State College and the University of North Florida. She was born in St. Augustine in 1965 and has lived in Lincolnville for over 30 years with her husband, sculptor Joe Segal.

Lincolnville Thru Time is a collection of photographs by Segal that are predominantly black & white images including houses, streetscapes and public spaces with a distinct Southern Gothic aesthetic. Photographic prints accompanied by a digital display span the 1990’s and following decades. The images focus on light and form, often creating tableaus that evoke the neighborhood’s intangible character. There are no people in the photographs but the evidence of them furthers the perception of a memory.

Theresa Segal’s work has been shown in museums throughout the State of Florida including Lightner Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville, the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens and Foosaner Art Museum in Melbourne, where twenty of her photographs are part of their permanent collection. Segal’s projects have included explorations of rural Florida, the attics of the Lightner Museum and a cultural exchange with Baracoa, Cuba. Her subject matter includes landscapes, interiors and light studies. Most of her work has been in traditional photographic processes, though she also works with digital. She has received numerous grants for her work, including a 2020 grant for Individual Artists from the Community Foundation of Northeast Florida which helped fund this exhibition.

The Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center will host an exhibition opening on November 18th, 2021 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm to view the artwork and meet the artist. The museum is located at 102 ML King Ave, with open parking. The event is free and open to the public. Please call 904-824-1191 with any questions.
