Artist Meet & Greet

Enjoy lemonade and cookies and chat with the photographer, Dirk Fletcher, whose work is featured in the Sheldon Peck Homestead gallery through Saturday, October 1, 2022.

Dirk was fascinated by the Lustron Home, or unit, as it was called, which was designed as a mass produced kit home to accommodate the deluge of returning World War II veterans and their families; a huge wave of demand for rapid construction of new houses that has been equated to the westward population shift of the California Gold Rush.

Dirk Fletcher is an American photographer whose work focuses primarily on the built environment and transportation. He holds an MFA in Independent Filmmaking from Governors State University and a BA from Brooks Institute of Photography. In addition to shooting digitally, he is an avid designer, builder and user of 4x5, 8x10 and panoramic film cameras.
