Greeting Card - Grandmother Tree - Sylvia Valentine

My photography is a reflection of what my heart connects with in the moment. I love capturing the Spirit of a place, experimenting with different angles and light to explore a unique perspective. Since 2008 on a trip to New Zealand where I got the photography bug, I’ve enjoyed sharing my photos in Open Studios, galleries and retail stores. I contribute a portion of all sales to environmental non- profits. My husband Paul and I enjoy traveling and experiencing the richness of different landscapes and cultures. We’ve crossed the US many times and reached almost every state, plus internationally to Bali, New Zealand, Thailand, Canada and Mexico. Many of my favorite photos are from our own beautiful California coast. I love the magic of creating a hidden gem in something ordinary, and capturing the beauty of a moment...from a drive around town to an international adventure. I believe art and nature are healing medicine. I hope my art connects you more deeply with yourself and others, creating a moment of silence and sanctuary.
