Artist Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

Edward\u2019s Steakhouse is proud to host local artist, Ray Szczepaniak, 4 His Glory Photography, during the January First Thursday Art Walk.<\/p>\n

\u201cI Love to walk and explore new places and take photos. Photography has become a means of gratitude and worship for me. I started taking pictures (of things other my kids) about 10 years ago and I couldn\u2019t help but be grateful for the beauty I was noticing in the world around me.  It brings me a lot of joy to share what I find with others.<\/p>\n

I am a professional educator and have been teaching children and adults for the last 35 years. I worked in Europe, teaching for the Department of Defense Schools for 26 years and I\u2019ve spent the last several years teaching here in Clarksville at Byrns Darden Elementary School. I\u2019m blessed!\u201d<\/p>\n

Because photography runs in his family Donald has been exposed from an early age to wonderful photography and art. Having a grandfather and father who were both professional photographers has helped to shape his photographic eye and artistic vision.<\/p>\n

[320left]The combination of a rich artistic life through singing and performing and traveling has melded with a broad aesthetic upbringing in the world of art and photography. The result is a rich and varied portfolio of images shot with Donald\u2019s unique perspective.<\/p>\n
