US Marine Photographs "The Harsh Desert" at IncredibleArtist.Com Gallery
Palm Springs - The IncredibleArtist.Com Gallery in Downtown Palm Springs is proud to host the first gallery show of incredible photographer Jayel Aheram, "The Harsh Desert", from 21st February through 3rd March 2008.
Jayel Aheram is a United States marine based out of Twentynine Palms, California. Still on active duty, he was deployed to Iraq's Al-Anbar province.
"The Harsh Desert" is a tale in photographs. Jayel Aheram presents a collection of things seen, experienced, and lived while serving in the harsh deserts of Iraq and elsewhere. A unique view of events rarely seen in the nightly newscast, a point-of-view of one troop in a war zone and at home, and a glimpse of a vastly different and sometimes beautiful Iraq.
Special Events:
Thursday, 21st February, 5-10pm:Opening Night Party - refreshments served.
A portion of the proceeds from this show will benefit the USO.
TheIncredibleArtist.Com Gallery also features Master ArtistVernon Finney, award-winning watercoloristDiane Morgan, talented youngChristopher Dailey, assemblage artistsLinda & Charles Perkins, black canvas specialistScott Worden, and acclaimed Raku potterJohn Melkonian.

Specializing in local emerging artists, theIncredibleArtist.Com Gallery in downtown Palm Springs is unique: Open ‘til late at night, slideshows on the wall inside and the sidewalk outside highlight the artwork. Artists are in attendance most nights to meet visitors, and passers-by can watch an artist at work in the window painting a new piece.
"I was most impressed with the gallery's display of 'The Harsh Desert.' One of the most interesting facts I learned was that the Marine who took the photos is in his 20s, on active duty. I commend your Gallery in making this exhibit possible. Such an exhibit puts a very personal touch on what's happening in Iraq and the dedication these young people are making."
