Pat Spina..."Travels" (Photography)

Shrub Oak Custom Framing is delighted to announce “Travels”… an exhibition of photography by Pat Spina in the DeWindt Gallery at Shrub Oak Custom Framing January 22, 2012 through March 2, 2012

Pat’s abiding love for photography and the methods used to produce and print photos began in the 1980’s.

He studied hard and practiced diligently to develop the requisite skills.

Pleased with the results of his efforts and encouraged by the interest shown in his work, Pat presented his artwork and was accepted for exhibition in a number of galleries. Pat’s photographs have been used in sports and auto racing publications and are in private collections locally and throughout the U.S.

Through the 1990’s and until recently Pat traveled the United States with his wife Joanne. Travel was mostly by motorcycle which is another one of his passions. They visited most of the Western States and our great National Parks with a focus on small town and rural America.  Although Pat was not chronicling their experiences with photographs, he found himself viewing all destinations with a photographer’s eye.

Now Pat rides his motorcycle locally, digital camera (Nikon D-7000) at the ready.  Dutchess County, NY is filled with beautiful sights, interesting nooks, stunning vistas and marvelous people. It has become Pat’s favorite county to photograph as it reminds him of the wondrous places he and Joanne sought out and visited during their travels. 

                            Artist Statement

“I continually look through camera lens hoping to capture the joyful spirit and light I feel flowing from, into and around my photographic subjects. If my images convey this spirit, this light, I am thankful.”

We believe Pat’s photographic artistry will captivate you as it has us…
