About this exhibit: My work is digital photography, both black & white and color. I photograph plants, animals, and landscapes. Some of the landscapes I photograph include the built environment.
I began taking photos with my parent’s polaroid in the 1970s and then got a Minolta film camera during high school. Once digital cameras appeared on the scene in the 1990’s, I switched from film and never looked back.
Plants are my lifelong passion and the focus of my education, life’s work, teaching, and art, but I am also fascinated by birds, insects, mammals, and fungi.
Photography is my other passion and each day, weather permitting I try to spend a few hours taking pictures.
You can view my work at my studio in the Shirt Factory (G09), at various venues such as the North Country Arts Gallery in the Shirt Factory and on my websites: HERE, HERE, HERE
Drew Monthie
I am fortunate to live and have grown up here in the Adirondack region, surrounded by amazing natural beauty. I have worked with, grown and taught about plants for over 4 decades, earning 3 degrees in the plant sciences. I am retired from my landscape consulting business (35 years), which specialized in native plants and from teaching as a professor in the natural sciences for SUNY Empire State (15 years). I spend my time working on my garden and my photography.
