FARMINGTON – SugarWood Gallery welcomes Scott Perry as July’s Artist of the Month with an Open House Reception on July 3 from 4 to 8 p.m. Perry’s work will remain on exhibit and available for sale during the month of July.
For several years, Perry worked throughout Maine as a freelance photographer primarily for the Associated Press and the Maine Times. His photos have appeared in newspapers and magazines around the world including Newsweek, the New York Times, USA Today, and National Geographic Magazine.
Perry enjoyed capturing bits of history on film and sharing it with others through the news media. However, he often found himself wanting to get more into his pictures than the normal window of view typical 35mm cameras could provide.
His work then evolved to panoramic landscapes. Perry’s goal is to create views within the confines of a picture frame that are so expansive and magnificent, they will make you feel you are at the place the picture was taken. He hopes his photography will rekindle your memories of a special place and help you share the beauty of that special place with others.
He currently works with digital cameras to capture his wide landscape views of Maine. He prints and frames his landscapes in his studio located in Farmington.
SugarWood Gallery is located at 248 Broadway in Farmington. Store hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday and 10 to 4 on Saturday and Sunday.
Farmington’s First Friday Artwork continues to grow in popularity. Come to SugarWood Friday evening, meet Scott, and wander the town and meet many more artists.
