Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) April 3, 2008 -- Kelly Koeppel will be the featured artist in May at the Morrison Arts Initiative. She will exhibiting work from her recent series of large format 8mm film prints.

"I started shooting Super8 film about ten years ago, documenting trips through Europe and the U.S., and nights out with friends. Last year I made a seires of large format prints from individual 8mm frames. They are exciting pieces because they capture and suspend moments in time that would otherwise be overlooked. There are ghostly images of faces and people, that in the film, just flash by on the screen. And the qualities of the film translated to such a large format can't be replicated by other means. They are truly unique."

Ms. Koeppel has been an artist for more than fifteen years and has exhibited her work throughout the United States. She is also the owner of k2forma, an advertising and marketing firm in Mooresville. www.k2forma.com
