Perri Hart

As an avid naturalist, Perri Hart takes beautiful photographs of the outdoors with a quality of light humor, drama and innocence. Capturing a variety of moments, from deer grazing in a summer pasture to the frigid dusk on a blustery lake, Hart recognizes the beauty to be found in every type of landscape. "I create images that you not only see, but feel," she states. Working in both black and white and color photography, Hart creates unmistakably crisp images while experimenting with different lens and weather-induced effects.

She majored in Photography, Film, and Video at the School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston and gained experience in commercial photography before returning to her hometown in Upstate New York to work with her father Johnny Hart, the celebrated cartoonist of B.C. and Wizard of Id. Last year Hart opened her own gallery in the art district of her hometown of Binghamton, New York. Currently Hart divides her time between her gallery, continuing her father’s legacy in cartooning, and her life’s work, photography.
