Artist of the Month

Sally Berry is a photo artist based in Santa Barbara, California specializing in nature and landscape images of west coast United States. Her images are inspired from water and surrounding nature typically using a painterly style with a touch of fine lines. She prefers a quiet style, sometimes long exposure, sometimes moody with subtle use of light. Sally creates raw photo images in nature that she processes and finalizes to archival print. Each image hopes to communicate her visual mood of the environment.

“Near & Far” images created by Sally Berry deviates from the artist’s west coast photo imagery to a land of ice and sea life — Antarctica. After arriving home and once again creating local images, Sally discovered a new found appreciation in the similarities and contrast of the local beauty with far away places reflecting on the fragility of both worlds.

“I love seascapes, anything water, open spaces and often prefer to create a soft, painterly effect. Rather than losing the image in the “digital” format, my goal is to interpret and finalize the photo image as a print on media such as cotton rag paper.”
