ARTIST STATEMENT:


“The life of a travel photographer is an adventure filled with the unexpected. Things can happen quickly, so having the camera ready to capture the moment is essential. A hippo that emerges off the bow of a Tanzanian riverboat will not wait and it’s challenging, and rare, to get the perfect shot.


Sometimes, when I feel everything is running smoothly, the weather suddenly changes and delays a shoot. I keep moving forward. Then slowly, the storm passes, the clouds part and the landscape is painted with an incredible light, accented by a gorgeous rainbow. This happened in Alaska’s Denali National Park. The beauty of it is, you never know, as nature reveals itself in so many mysterious ways. I am never at a loss to find even some small treasure through the lens. Many of those often overlooked gems become  the source material for my original process of “digital alchemy” and the creation of new mandalas.”

NORTHERN LIGHTS STUDIO was established in 1980 by Jon H. Davis in Glenburnie-on-Lake-George, which lies within the Adirondack State Park, in upstate New York. Located in an area with an abundance of natural resources, beautiful landscapes and crystal clear waters, which has drawn many well known artists to the region to record their impressions through painting, sculpture, photography and crafts. Living in the Adirondacks has been an inspiration for a diversity of creative art forms Davis continues to explore.



NORTHERN LIGHTS STUDIO has extended its reach and is currently based in Warwick, New York.
