The summer began for Jeffery Becton of Deer Isle with an acceptance to Photo London for a solo booth at Somerset House. This was accomplished once his gallery, which is not known for carrying photography, Koman Fine Arts in Vero Beach, Florida submitted images of his work. He was shortlisted this year at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition for his image WTF, which was photographed at painter Gretna Campbell’s summer studio on Great Cranberry. The house which became Hallowed Ground was photographed years ago when Stonington artist Jill Hoy was living there on King Row in Deer Isle. Opening in January 2024 he will have a solo show at The Whaling Museum in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
