Opening reception for photographic exhibit by Sarah Rydgren of Salem to be held Sunday, Nov. 2 12-2 p.m. at Stetson Gallery in Marblehead
From The Salem Patch:
November at the Stetson Gallery in the Unitarian Universalist Church of Marblehead will feature the photographs of Sarah Rydgren of Salem. Rydgren’s exhibit, ‘home,” will be celebrated at an opening reception on Sunday, November 2, from 12-2 p.m. at the Gallery, located at 28 Mugford St., Marblehead.
Sarah Rydgren, a 28 year native of Salem, has always had an interest
in the outdoors, nature, travel and photography. She briefly studied
film photography at Montserrat College of Art, however, she is
completely self-taught in digital photography, specializing in Nikon
DSLR Cameras and Adobe Photoshop. Sarah is now pursuing a
Bachelor’s Degree in environmental biology and geology at Salem State
University and works as a Ranger in Ipswich for the Trustees of
Reservations. She recently moved back to her hometown of Salem with
her 6 year old son, Maverick, and her two cats. You can often see
Sarah spending her free time hiking and photographing the North Shore.
She has been influenced by such photographers as Ansel Adams, Darren
Jew, Paul Nicklen and Paul Souders.
Rydgren calls this exhibit “home” because, she says, “Home is where you feel comfort, and most of my work displayed in this show was taken during the last year, while I was healing from my father’s death.
Good Morning Gloucester
