Kelly Burgo: "Exploring Our World" - September 2026
This month, Huntley Art Hub Gallery is proud to showcase the work of photographer Kelly Burgo, our Featured Artist for September. Her exhibition, Exploring Our World, invites viewers into a collection shaped by curiosity, reverence, and a deep appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us.
From sweeping sunflower fields and quiet forest paths to delicate blossoms and the iconic Ferris wheel at Navy Pier, Kelly’s September collection celebrates both the natural and the man‑made wonders of our world. Each photograph offers a moment of pause—an opportunity to look closer, breathe deeper, and reconnect with the extraordinary hiding in everyday scenes.
Kelly’s love for photography began in childhood, when she asked Santa for a Polaroid camera and discovered the magic of capturing a moment. Today, her work reflects that same sense of wonder. She draws inspiration from nature’s quiet elegance and the soulful presence of its creatures, seeking not only to show what she sees, but to share what she feels: joy, curiosity, and a profound respect for the world around us.
We invite you to experience Exploring Our World throughout September and enjoy Kelly’s remarkable ability to reveal beauty in places both familiar and unexpected. Her work is on display in the gallery all month long.
