CHERYL MEDOW – NEW WORKS
2020-08-10Art photographer Cheryl Medow focuses her lens on the avian world to heighten awareness of the importance of these sublime creatures. Since early childhood, whether tending chickens or mimicking the sound of birds, Medow has always had an affection toward these beautiful and evolutionary prehistoric winged beings.
Medow’s first step in creating images is to put herself in nature, traveling to environments where diverse species of birds live; sometimes as close as her backyard, but more often traveling to places far from home. While waiting for the precise moment to capture the image, she studies the surroundings, allowing her to better understand birds in their home environment, looking for food, balancing on a tree branch, hiding from predators, building a nest, courting and fighting for territory; these moments are fascinating and enable her an opportunity for her curiosity and imagination to find expression.
