Don Strel
Artist Statement
I work to capture the feeling that the subject presents to me. I do not like to change the colors or alter the subject. I want to show the experience that I felt at the moment of capture, the instant the photo was taken. And my intent is to present each image to the viewers as they would see it, without major manipulation.
A stunning collection of original documentary photographs by Don Strel of the landscape that was integral to the writing of Tony Hillerman.

The UNM School of Law Art Gallery features art of varied mediums from artists including students, faculty, alumni and friends of the law school and the university. Professor Sherri Burr, UNM Regents Professor, heads the UNM Law School's Art Committee and is host of ARTS TALK, a weekly television she produces and hosts. Aside from the intrinsic value of having art in the School of Law and the goal of funding a scholarship, Burr says there's another important reason for the art gallery: "An art enriched environment is conducive to learning."
