About the Artist

Award-winning fine art photographer, James D'Ambrosio, studied with the renowned Harold Feinstein, whose images reside in permanent museum collections and six published works including the celebrated, One Hundred Flowers. Feinstein taught him to see with his heart, not his eyes. D'Ambrosio has exhibited in numerous shows including the prestigious Maine Photography Show juried by the Curator of the Portland Museum of Art. Beginning in 2008, his art found expression in the beauty of clouds, and select images were recruited by the editors of Getty Images, one of the most respected image portfolios in the world. Influenced by painters like the Impressionist J.M.W. Turner with his extraordinary use of color to create shapes and his means of expressing the way forms dissolve in light, D'Ambrosio found a perfect subject in clouds, ever changing living sculptures of water and light. Void of references to land, ocean, trees, mountains, or any earthly reality these surreal images flow freely in space taking the viewer aloft, floating and unbound from worldly concerns.
