About the Exhibition

Many thanks to FotoFest and Creative Arts Napier for this opportunity to share my work.
Biography
Sally Paterson is a Melbourne-based photographer who grew up Hawkes Bay and has a strong connection to the lands of Aotearoa. She enjoys capturing images of the natural and urban environment, as well as creating abstract and vibrant imagery using various in-camera creative techniques. Alongside a busy corporate career, she balances her passion for photography, regularly exhibiting images in art shows and competitions in Australia, New Zealand and internationally.
Artist Statement
Sally explores both natural environments and built structures within the landscape, often brought together through in-camera creative techniques. Her work is defined by unique compositions that layer elements of the man-made and organic. Through this gentle merging of forms, her images invite the viewer to consider the relationship between place, memory, and perception.
These creative landscape images are part of a limited-edition collection: Nature’s Canvas: Central Otago Edition – unveiling the beauty of the region through her lens while visiting the region in 2023.
