Kathryn Murray - May Guest Artist

Almost all her photos were taken on the Northern Neck and most are images of places within a mile of the home she shares with her husband at Naylors Beach.  Her digital images are "pure" photography since they employ no program to adjust colors or effects. All of the colors are as they were found in nature. Many of the images were taken in early morning or late evening. These are her favorite times to be out and to see. The subtlety of the colors and the luminescent light provide great opportunities to capture a scene. These locations might appear mundane, but during the right season, at the right time or with the right weather they are completely transformed. The artist considers her work often to be "Northern Neck Meditations." Kathryn grew up in Cold Spring Harbor New York and went to college and studied Art History at Bryn Mawr. While in New York City for 10 years after college, she worked in design-related businesses which included advertising, architecture and furniture design. She has been an avid photographer for many years. Her work can be found at the Gresham House Gallery (Tappahannock), Rappahannock Art League (Kilmarnock), Art on Main (Gloucester).
