Wednesday! Malaika brings us another vendor spotlight, and a very special one at that. You’ll see why!
Today’s featured vendor is very near and dear to my heart (she’s my daughter!). I promise to do my best to present her art in a professional and unbiased way, but if I’m not successful, please forgive me!
Sara Picard, currently a freshman in college, is a self-taught photographer. What started out as a young girl’s favorite pass-time is now emerging as a young woman’s chosen art form. She calls herself Beyond the Lens, and, in my humble opinion, she does a fantastic job of bringing that quality of deeper sight to her work.
Sara has done photo shoots for family portraits and weddings, but her specialty is bringing out the over-looked beauty in ordinary, every-day objects. She has a knack for seeing the extraordinary in things the rest of us take for granted and finds a way to bring that quality to the forefront. Her photography has a way of making you think, “Wow, I never noticed that before!”
While Sara is a bit nervous about bringing her photography to The BIG THAW beside all those other “real” artists, her offerings will be the perfect compliment to the amazing mix we can look forward to on April 16th.
Beautiful photos and a joy to read!
Stunning photography by a stunningly beautiful girl, inside and out!
It’s a little late in coming, but here is another wonderful, creative woman that I can claim bragging rights to! One of the many treasures I have received from Sara is a beautiful photo showing a old wooden door built into a rock wall all covered in ivy. I fell in love with it when I first saw it last September and Sara blessed me with a print of it. I would like to pass along my heartfelt best wishes for a successful Big Thaw this weekend to all of the talented people taking part in this event. Does anyone have a teleporter to “pop” me from California to Maine for the weekend? BTW – I am Sara’s Grandma!
ooops! I meant my reply was late in coming! NOT Sara!
