I am always looking for a new friend to join me early in the morning sitting out in the cold freezing my body off to get great photos of birds and any other wildlife that I can capture. Most of my photography is done here on the Central Coast, Morro Bay is a favorite, and Atascadero Lake. I also like to photograph the Milky Way during the spring. Favorite spots being the Milky Way over the ocean. The Milky Way over vineyards and Camp Roberts. I live in Atascadero with my husband and a typical 16 year old, two mastiffs and three cats. I hope you enjoy my nature photos as much as I do taking them.” Fine Art Photography by Sharon West

While most of my paintings are studio based, I also paint plein air whenever possible. I am also an avid traveller and photographer and spend significant amount of time photographing the beautiful landscapes during my travel. My photos often serve as scenic reminders of the places I visit and later become subjects for my studio paintings. When I am not traveling, you will frequently find me painting the colorful flowers and critters from my garden.” Fine Art Painting by Hema Sukumar

The first subjects I ever composed with this camera were little butterflies in the front garden. With this newfound outlet for creativity and personal expression, my fingers couldn’t stay off the shutter button. During those beginning years nature was my primary inspiration for compositions, and it remains a major focus to this day.” Fine Art Photography by Spencer Caserio

Artists Statement: In Sheril’s own words: “I am lucky to be a lifelong resident of the Central Coast. I grew up in Cayucos and Morro Bay. I took many art classes in high school and college. At one time I planned on becoming an art teacher, but life happened and I became a Special Education Teacher. After retiring from Orcutt Union School District a few years ago, I was able to revisit my dream of becoming an artist. My style involves lots of color. I enjoy how watercolor flows freely, but I usually add lots of detail in the main areas of interest. I especially enjoy painting flowers, landscapes and sea harbor scenes.”

After high school I tried the college path but left early to pursue a career in the film industry. At the age of 20 I helped produce a full length feature film that was distributed nationwide, but didn’t exactly payout for me. Life’s hard lesson on that one found me washing golf carts 2 days a week at a local country club in my home town. Within 2 years I was managing the entire operation and had become content with my life. That all changed at the age of 28 when I found myself sitting on my back patio looking out at a pool I never swam in and a yard I never used. Even though I had experienced what I felt to be a lot, I knew that I hadn’t truly lived anything. The decision from here was surprisingly easy, I quit my job, sold my house and everything that couldn’t fit into my small car and […]
