Holly Gordon is far from a common traveling photographer. With decades of experience and a mastery of groundbreaking photographic technologies, she approaches every subject with a mission to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Her photographs weave compelling narratives drawn from both the natural world and everyday life. The world is truly Gordon’s oyster.
Gordon will share stories and images from her many travels—spanning from Antarctica to Cuba and beyond. Gordon’s work reveals her early grounding in painting and drawing, continuing to inform her photographic eye.
Her acclaimed Water Music Series, for example, captures spontaneity, force, and the power of nature, while conveying abstraction within realism. Her deliberate choices of angles, light, and perspective illustrate a visual language fusing Impressionistic sensibilities with the clarity of modern photography.
Gordon has presented numerous exhibitions throughout Long Island, including the Southampton Arts Center, Molloy University, and the Bayard Cutting Arboretum. Her work has been featured in Newsday, exhibited at
The Heckscher Museum of Art—including the 2010 Biennial,
where her piece Foggy Harbor was shown—and is included in the permanent collections of Molloy University, NYU Langone, and Stony Brook Hospital.
Gordon is co-author of
Parallel Perspectives: The Brush/Lens Collaboration, a celebrated book that chronicles her collaborative project with painter Ward Hooper.
The book showcases their innovative dialogue between painting and photography, earning recognition for its fresh approach to
cross-disciplinary creativity.
