Please join us for a “First Friday” reception, meet and greet the artist on Friday, September 3, 2010 from 5-8pm. The exhibit, entitled "Life, Death, Color & Light," will feature photography by Katie Selva.
Katie began photographing when she began traveling, using photography as a way to preserve moments that were fleeting, yet meaningful. A series of cross-country drives between 2000 and 2004 allowed Katie the freedom to experiment with her sense of personal aesthetics and begin developing her own perception of beauty. As a self-taught photographer, Katie is drawn to subject matter that is diverse, yet focuses largely on simplicity, loneliness, nature and architecture.
In 2004, Katie decided to take her photography to a new level and started her own business, KatieSelvaPhotography.com. She focused her enterprise efforts largely on wedding and culinary photography, and switched from traditional 35mm film to digital because of the flexibility it offered. She takes a documentary-style approach with her wedding photography in an effort to capture moments as they happen, rather than staging posed portraits. This allows her to continue developing the way she frames the world around her, and her clients receive an insightful and inspired record of their day as is happened.
Katie’s work has appeared in New York Magazine Online, Food & Wine and Saveur, as well as many Portland-based publications including the Portland Phoenix, Metro Magazine and the Bollard. Her most recent artistic work focuses on capturing images she encounters every day in an effort to honor and memorialize what she finds beautiful. She enjoys the silence of photography and how each image must stand and speak for itself.
The event is free and open to the public. The exhibit and sale will continue at Frost Farm Gallery through Saturday, September 25. The August First Friday art opening at Frost Farm Gallery is in conjunction with the Lajos Matolcsy Arts Center, Commons Art Collective, The Maine Bookhouse, McLaughlin Garden, and Painted Mermaid Gallery. For more information call the gallery at 743-8041.
