FEATURED ARTIST
MICHAEL FOLEY
(Local PHOTOGRAPHER)
Michael Foley’s journey with photography began at a young age with a Kodak Instamatic camera. His passion for capturing moments grew as he “borrowed” his Dad’s Nikon during his teenage years. Today, Michael’s love for the outdoors and hiking naturally complements his photography, ensuring he always has a camera within reach.
Michael believes that moments find him rather than the other way around. He follows his instincts to capture these moments, viewing them as a partnership between the observer and the universe. His photographs reflect his unique relationship with the world, inviting viewers to share in his experiences.
Artist’s Statement:
“It is a distinct honor to be able to show my photographs in the Lasher Gallery space at WICA. It’s a great environment for any artist, with a generous amount of wall space. The WICA staff are all professional, helpful, and kind. That helps me feel relaxed knowing I’m in good hands! For this show, I’ve chosen images that simply make me smile, so at the end of the day, the viewers can have their own experience and I’ll still be wearing a smile!”
Michael’s work is a visual diary of his life, capturing the magic of fleeting moments. He hopes his photographs inspire viewers to embrace the wonders of nature, reminding us that beauty is often just outside our door.
