First Sunset of 2012 by Katherine Gendreau

Photo By: Katherine Gendreau

Biography: I am a landscape photographer from Bristol, Rhode Island.
I first became interested in photography when I moved to Rhode Island in 2006. I was inspired by the amazing coastal scenes that are so accessible around the state and which were so different from where I grew up in Massachusetts. In my work I try to convey the same excitement and awe at seeing the beautiful scenes around me as I felt when I first moved to Rhode Island. I have been fortunate to discover some truly amazing places through my photography, and I feel that this art can and should serve as a reminder of the natural beauty around us, as a way of taking a time-out from the everyday grind of life.
