YOUNGSTOWN — Six of Ohio’s top-published nature photographers are featured in a traveling art exhibition through Jan. 6 at Fellows Riverside Gardens in the Weller Gallery.

The show, “Ohio’s Natural Landscapes: A Photographic Journey of the Buckeye State,” features 48 framed prints from Ohio artists Ian Adams, David FitzSimmons, Steve Maslowski, Jim Roetzel, Randall Schieber, and Art Weber. The show features large, framed photographs from around Ohio, images ranging from grand scenics along Lake Erie and in the Hocking Hills to close-ups of birds, flowers, and reptiles and amphibians. “Ohio’s Natural Landscapes,” according to exhibit director David FitzSimmons, “both showcases the variety of beautiful natural areas around the state and promotes conservation of Ohio’s diverse environments, plants and wildlife.”

Artwork will be available for sale during and at the end of the exhibit.
