Aerie I

Piece description from the artist

My photographic collections are made through the use of creative camera movements while fleeting moments of light , shadow and color provide a study of painterly movement. Multiplied through camera effects, these elements come together in compositions that verge on abstraction yet often remain grounded in elements of nature's landscapes and in this case the beautiful red rock backdrop of the southwest in contrast to blue skies. My intention is to be invigorated by a scene and then capture it abstractly, so you the viewer can see in it what you like or see nothing at all and just enjoy the sheer beauty of the colors. light and shadows.

About Monika Hilleary

Sedona, AZ

Monika Hilleary started her art career as a portrait photographer but quickly fell in love with high-end architectural photography work while living in the foothills of Colorado. There she was recognized as one of the states foremost architectural, publication and commercial photographers. In addition to her commercial work, she regularly explored the beauty of the landscape and with the many stunning captures, went on to own three galleries in several mountain resort towns. In total contrast, she then spent a number of years in Tauranga, New Zealand, and before settling permanently in Sedona, Arizona, divided her time between New Zealand and Sedona

Infused with inspiration from the richly pigmented red rocks of her current home as well as the azure illuminated oceans of her previous, these intimate connections with her surroundings have continued to fuel her passion, Monika’s latest style of fine art photography is captured in an abstracted painterly fashion, regularly confused with that of contemporary impressionistic paintings.

Monika’s award winning work can be found around the globe with residential and commercial installations in England, Spain, Germany, France, New Zealand and Peru as well as nationwide in the US.
