Sandy Griesbach
What Do You See?
June 30-August 9
Community Room
Art Reception: Wednesday, July 2, 4:30-7:00pm
During the COVID-19 pandemic, photographer Sandy Griesbach of Danbury discovered a newfound opportunity to slow down and observe the intricate details hidden in nature. Through her camera lens, she was both surprised and delighted by the hidden beauty and dynamic energy that began to unfold before her eyes. This period of introspection led her to explore various ways of capturing the hidden patterns and reflections that were gradually revealing themselves.
Her curiosity guided her to the garden, where she embarked on a journey of discovering the essence of the images she was documenting. In this intimate exploration, Sandy found that occasionally, the very spirit or personality of a flower or tree would reveal itself, offering a glimpse into the profound connection between nature and the observer.
