ANNE CHERRY
I grew up in Perry County, graduated from Newport High School, and have
degrees in Education, Communications, and Library Science from
Shippensburg University. In 2000 I retired after 30 years of teaching
and began focusing on my interests in photography and gardening. In 2005
my husband gave me a digital camera and I began photographing the
flowers in the perennial department at the garden center where I worked.
When I put the photos on the computer I was drawn to the abstract
images I found in the flowers. I began focusing on the abstracts,
calling my works Natural Abstracts. My works have been on exhibit and
featured in various mid-state galleries, and other venues. I am a
member of the Carlisle Arts Learning Center (CALC) and Shippensburg Arts
Programing and Education (SHAPE). I live in East Berlin PA with my
husband, Bill Cherry, and enjoy my artwork, cooking, gardening and
fishing with Bill.
As a photographer, I have always focused on
composition, looking and waiting for just the right balance of color,
light, and position. I have also been fascinated with these same
elements in abstract art. With the advent of digital photography, I now
find it artistically rewarding to combine these two art forms. NATURAL
ABSTRACTS are abstract images I find in my photographs of flowers. I
isolate and digitally enhance the image to create a piece of artwork
intended to awaken the inner beauty of nature for the observer.
