Trish Ritchie & Terry Ritchie

Trish Ritchie

I don't have a grand artistic vision. I take pictures because it's fun and I like preserving memories of people and places I've seen. I enjoy nature and being outdoors. Photography is a great way to save a bit of it.
People often say, "Wow, your pictures are great! What camera do you use?" It's not the camera - it's >seeing and learning to use the camera as a tool to capture what you see. My advice is to shoot pictures - lots of them - and you'll discover what looks good. If I get one or two great shots out of 100, that's a very good day.
Sometimes I look a little crazy on my stomach in the yard or carrying the camera and a tripod around, but it pays off when I get that good shot! - Trish Ritchie

Terry Ritchie

I've been shooting for 35 years. My advice is that you find what you like, fill the frame, and hope there is enough light. I don't shoot film anymore and I mourn its passing. Digital takes some of the romance out of photography, or so it seems to me; but, nevertheless, I can't argue with the results. Digital is cheaper, faster and accessible to virtually everyone and the images are sharper and brighter. - Terry Ritchie

The art gallery at Berger Hospital is the result of a partnershup between ArtsaRound and Berger Health System. ArtsaRound is a community based organization dedicated to supporting art and artists in Pickaway County and the regional area. Berger Health System is a community based health care system dedicated to providing quality care so that people do not need to travel outside of their own backyard to have their health care needs met.

The mission of the ArtsaRound Gallery at Berger is to foster the relationship between art and healing by providing a venue for artists, primarily from, but not limited to, Pickaway County and the regional area, to offer their work for the aesthetic pleasure of patients, visitors, and staff. The initiatives of this unique program also contribute to the success of Berger Hospital's mission "to be the best community hospital in the State of Ohio."
