Artist Statement:
I’ve been an avid amateur photographer for over 30 years, and love to take photos wherever I am. I love shooting in Olympia -- I am fixated on the alleys, streets and architecture of Olympia! My goal is to capture the surreal in everyday life. Occasionally, I am fortunate enough to do that.
My work is inspired by poetry and Transcendental writing such as the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "The World We Live In Is But Thickened Light" and this one by a relative of Ralph Waldo:
“Do not be caught by the sensational in nature, as a coarse red-faced sunset, a garrulous waterfall, or a fifteen-thousand-foot mountain... avoid prettiness - the word looks much like pettiness - and there is but little difference between them.” Henry Peter Emerson.
About the Artist:
Frank Winters is an award winning fine art photographer. He moved to Olympia in 2019 with his wife, Aurora, and is creating art that reflects his new surroundings. Originally from New York City where he photographed on the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn, including Coney Island. When he lived in Massachusetts, he showed his work at The Provincetown Art Association and Museum, The Cotuit Center for the Arts, and several other galleries. Here in Olympia he has shown work at the Leo Fuller Gallery of SPSCC, Art Journey, Browsers Bookshop and other local galleries and shops. His photography is influenced by his love of poetry and the visual arts, particularly abstract and surrealist painting. Frank and his wife have a large extended family, most living in Washington State, the reason they moved to Olympia was to be able to see them more often. The move to a new environment has been exciting and stimulating for them, affording many artistic opportunities.
