Jamie Feldman, who lives in Southfield, 
established a career in dentistry and max-
illofacial surgery, but photography has 
been his special interest. In this exhibit, he 
shows a color photo of a bee moving up to 
a flower.
“I got involved with the visual arts when 
I was young,
” said Feldman, who has taken 
pictures for the Detroit Jewish News. “I was 
very involved with drawing, and my father 
got me an inexpensive camera so I would 
keep my hands off his. By the time I was in 
junior high, I got some awards.
”
Feldman, 74, who has exhibited his 
work in Dearborn and along Belle Isle, is 
active with the Detroit Chapter of Alpha 
Omega International Dental Fraternity and 
has been a strong factor in the provision of 
dental benefits for Holocaust survivors.
Jennifer Kesler, who works with autistic 
students, is part of a family presentation. 
Her mom, Wanchuan, and her dad, Eric, 
also have art projects on view.

“I have two images 
that are ink on paper 
and one image that is 
a linocut with marker 
and paint,
” said Kesler, 
23, who has shown 
her work at Detroit 
Artists Market and 
Suzanne Haskew Arts 
Center (SHAC) in 
Milford. 
Kesler relates fish 
swimming to Flight 
and thinks of the 
flight of stairs in her 
image of buildings. 
Away from art 
projects, Kesler, of 
Northville, is in the process of converting 
to Judaism. She attended programs at the 
Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue and felt 
comfortable with the practices. 
“I think it’s really cool to be in this 
show,
” Kesler said. “It’s cool that there’s 
another gallery in the area with a lot of 
cool art.
