Visitors to ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries are transported to the dreamy underwater world of Karen Glaser, whose elegant photographs of mysterious manatees, formations of fish and cathedral-like shafts of light spilling into the caverns and around the rims of Florida’s springs and sinkholes clearly show her background in more traditional forms of art. On display through December are 30 of Glaser’s two-by-three-foot silver gelatin and archival color inkjet prints.

Karen Glaser became enthralled with underwater photography after she was given an Instamatic underwater camera as a birthday present in 1983. Her various underwater series, shot on tropical reefs and in pristine Florida springs, have been exhibited in numerous prestigious museums and other venues around the nation and abroad. Karen Glaser’s underwater photographs of manatees are documented in the book, “Mysterious Manatees,” published by the University Press of Florida.

Several of Karen Glaser’s underwater photography in the “Aquascapes” exhibition are in color. One of her favorite color subjects are the copper-hued garfish that frequent the fresh-water habitat frequented by manatees. Filtered by the water and its suspended particles, sunlight striking the scales of the garfish gives viewers a glimpse of the natural elegance seen by the artist in her underwater explorations.

Installed in 2002, Karen Glaser’s “Aquascapes: Miami Seaport Project” consists of a 226-foot series of oversize black-and-white underwater photographs on a sea-blue watery panoramic background. The artist worked for months with a team of experts to insure that each of the sixteen 6 by 9-foot images, produced with air-brushed pigmented inks from digital files, faithfully reproduces the particular toning used by the artist on the original photographic print.
