In February, AAPLD is delighted to welcome fine art photographer Kirsten Barry to the Art Wall in the Adult Services Department. Learn a little more about this talented artist.
The Artist: Kirsten Barry
Background/Experience: I am a fine art photographer who enjoys exploring the world around me whether out in nature or working indoors. Although you can find me with a camera most any time, my predominant genre is still life photography. It is where I return to most often to showcase many of the treasures I have collected through the years.
What inspires me: I have always found the world to be endlessly fascinating and I love trying to capture
what I discover in my travels. My goal is always to present the inherent beauty I see in my subject. If I can make someone smile, see something in a new way, or bring back a long forgotten memory, I have succeeded.
“I feel it is the heart, not the eye, that should determine the intent of the photograph. What the eyes see is its own. What the heart can perceive is a very different matter.” – Gordon Parks – photographer
