L. Nowlin Gallery, owned and operated by local photographer Lesley Nowlin, (www.lesleynowlinphoto.com) opened its doors in the spring of 2009 in Austin’s artistic West End District. L. Nowlin Gallery strives to provide a unique space to expose photographers who want to present their work in a gallery setting. As one of the few photography galleries in Austin, it houses a wide array of genres, focusing on black and white; fine art; documentary; and photography-based collage. Remembering the foundation of photography, L. Nowlin Gallery works to promote exhibitions prized for their pure and sometimes raw quality, fostering a place where image creates story.
