ABOUT:
Kerry Sharkey-Miller is a fine art photographer based in Sag Harbor, New York with an extensive background in fine art and media production. She received her BFA in Photography from LIU. For ten years she owned and operated a successful fine art gallery in Southampton, New York that featured the work of renowned contemporary Native American artists. For the next 14 years she had a career as an educator specializing in photography, digital printing and stop-motion animation. As an educator she traveled extensively, taking students on annual trips that combined photography with humanitarian service, to locations in Australia, Kenya, New Zealand, Brazil, Morocco, Peru and throughout the United States. In recent years she has been developing a photographic body of work which is reflective of her passion for the beauty and preservation of the flora and fauna of our natural environment, and has been exploring contemporary methods of alternative process and mixed media that are much less toxic to humans and the environment. Her photographic work has been featured in exhibitions through out the country and has earned her numerous awards.
