Artist's Fine Art Statement
"Guided by light and line, and recognizing that a photograph is a reflection of a unique, fleeting reality, I strive to bring a quiet, contemplative energy to the frame. Additionally, by focusing on composition and tone — and limiting the use of processing techniques — a further objective is to establish and nurture an intimate affinity with the subject, one that communicates and celebrates the beauty, poignancy and oft-times ironic nature of our chaotic world. Through the art and perspective of photography I seek to bring both understanding and a fine balance to life – as I experience it."
Birgit's Fine Art prints are currently available on-line or at the
Sage Fine Art Gallery in Taos, NM.
Prices begin at $190 USD unframed, plus shipping & taxes.
