Photographs by Peggy Nolan

March 2 - April 17

Curated by Rylan Steele, photographer and Professor of Art at Columbus State University, Pardon me, just looking brings an exhibition of Peggy Nolan's photographs to The Do Good Fund Gallery from March 2 to April 17, 2024.

Peggy Nolan started photographing in the early 1980’s while living in Florida and raising seven children in a subsidized housing complex. She documented daily, the scenes taking place in her home and in her children’s lives. With minimal time or resources Nolan eked out a way to follow her passion and confesses unapologetically that she often stole film to do so. In the late 1990’s she went back to school at Florida International University (FIU) to study photography. This allowed her access to the university’s darkroom and resulted in a 25 year relationship with FIU after earning her MFA in 2001.

Considered a late-bloomer, Nolan is now receiving critical acclaim for her prolific body of work and the distinctive intimacy of her images. Her new book, Juggling is Easy, was published in 2023.

Please join us for a Do Good Salon featuring a talk by the artist on Thursday, March 28 at 6PM in The Do Good Fund Gallery.
