Hollingsworth Art Gallery
Melissa Ramey
Artist of the Month - February
Photographs by Melissa Ramey are on display in the Hollingsworth Art Gallery during February.
During college the gift of a camera encouraged Ramey to register for her first photography class. As with many, life and career put artistic leanings and yearnings on hold for a while, but they resurged and Ramey is a serious photographer whose skill makes her love of nature patently evident. Some of her most exquisite images are sunset views. “Night Landing” made her a Finalist in the 2008 Photographer’s Forum; 3000 others had submitted entries. “Bay Bridge Sunset” has repeated the honor for 2009. An elegant photo of the Thomas Point Lighthouse was juried and chosen to hang in the Lowe House in Annapolis.
On display in the Hollingsworth Gallery are Ramey pictures from Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, Patuxent Research Refuge, Kings Gap State Park, Nature and Education Center, Big Cat Rescue and Wildlife Center, and the National Aquatic Gardens and marshland.
Ramey, a Laurel resident, is a member of the Baltimore and Washington Photography Club, the Digital Photography Club of Annapolis and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.
