Ken Moran is a photographer based in Cumberland. Born in Nassau County, Long Island, Moran was exposed to fine art from at an early age. He has always been fascinated by the diversity in form, color, and structure of plants and flowers and began photographing flowers and plants from around his neighborhood.

Tyler Palmer is a digital photographer and electronic musician based in Providence. They released their first solo album No End in 2019 and are one half of the experimental alternative R&B duo Empty Hour. Since the summer of 2022, Palmer has been making candid photos of everyday life. Their photography aims to dramatize the mundane.

Callum Sharkey is a street and nature photographer from Providence. While growing up in Rhode Island, Sharkey came to love photography as a way of capturing how he sees the world and sharing that with others. To Sharkey, everything and everyone has a story to tell. Even seemingly mundane moments happening all around us every day are filled with beauty and poetry and meaning. They just need to be shown in a certain light. He sees the value in these moments and hopes to tell a part of that story.

The 2024 exhibitors for the Green Space Gallery were chosen by panelists Jim Cain of Cranston, Monica Hurley of Providence, and Rafael Medina of Providence.
