John Abismara Solo Show
July 27 through August 15
Reception: Saturday, July 27 | 1- 3 PM
Rockport Art Association & Museum
About John:
"A native New Englander, I have photographed all over the region, as well as in our National Parks and Europe. My inspiration today comes primarily from the coastal beauty of Cape Ann, where I have lived for 10 years. Here, I try to capture the uniqueness of each season along with the magic of Cape Ann light, and I particularly enjoy the golden hours of sunrise and sunset. I also seek out secluded places to capture unique scenes, and spend time editing my images to replicate what I saw." Read Full Bio
