FARMINGTON — SugarWood Gallery will welcome Scott Perry as July’s Artist of the Month at an open house reception from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 3. Perry’s work will remain on exhibit and available for sale during July.

For several years Perry worked throughout Maine as a freelance photographer, primarily for the Associated Press and the Maine Times. His photos have appeared in newspapers and magazines around the world, including Newsweek, the New York Times, USA Today and National Geographic Magazine. 

Perry enjoyed capturing bits of history on film and sharing it with others through the news media. However, he often found himself wanting to get more into his pictures than the normal window of view typical 35mm cameras could provide.

His work then evolved to panoramic landscapes. His goal is to create views within the confines of a picture frame that are so expansive and magnificent, they will make the viewer feel they are at the place the picture was taken. He hopes his photography will rekindle memories of a special place and help share the beauty of that special place with others.

Perry works with digital cameras to capture his wide landscape views of Maine. He prints and frames his landscapes in his studio in Farmington.

SugarWood Gallery is located at 248 Broadway. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
