The Boulder Junction Public Library welcomes the public to view their September Art in the Library exhibit featuring astrophotographer, Kate Reichl, beginning Wednesday, September 3rd. Kate will be displaying a variety of prints featuring deep space, star trails, aurora borealis, and nightscape photos.

Meet Kate and view her work at an Artist’s Reception to be held on Thursday, September 18. From 6:30-7pm, tour the art in the library. Then at 7pm, gather in the meeting room for a presentation. Kate will be sharing her photography, along with how to capture and see these scenes for yourself. She will be showing what equipment she uses, how she finds spots, how she tracks sky conditions, and how she gets the final photo. She will share both the artistic and science side to astrophotography.

Kate Reichl is a lifelong resident of the Northwoods and a professional artist. Growing up in Sayner, with little to no light pollution, her favorite thing to do was go stargazing. As Kate grew older, she wanted to capture photos of the stars so that she could always see them, and share them with others.

Kate received degrees in both photography and astronomy in college to bring the art side and science side together to turn her passion into a career. This is how she became an award-winning astrophotographer, and continued to grow and expand in photography and video.

Kate continues to work as a photographer and filmmaker throughout the area, capturing the special beauty of the Northwoods.
