Photographer Michael Maloney finds inspiration from a love of nature and art. His landscape and wildlife photos reflect an ability to stay in the moment and be open to all possibilities. At times his creations are traditionally matted and framed, while some are printed on aluminum surfaces. Maloney will be featured at Sutter Creek Gallery throughout the month of December with a reception in his honor on Saturday, December 3, from 2 to 5 p.m.
Maloney is self-taught in photography, beginning in the days of film and darkrooms. However, he now uses the latest digital cameras and photo processing. “I believe,” he says, “that printing itself is an art form and I take pride in the process. A photo is not fully complete until it is in print form, a concept that is almost lost in this digital age.” He spent nearly four decades in photojournalism, mostly with the San Francisco Chronicle, but is now retired and surrounded by nature in Amador County. With his images, he hopes to encourage others to get out and explore the world with “a spirit of curiosity, astonishment, and hope.”
You are invited to see nature through Michael Maloney’s eyes and to visit with him on December 3 while enjoying refreshments. He is one of 22 local artists exhibiting at the gallery located at 40 Main Street, Sutter Creek. On display are original paintings of all types, photographs, prints and cards, jewelry, pottery and gourds. Many items would make affordable gifts and these will be highlighted during the holiday season. Custom matting and framing services are also available.
