Item Description

Become the proud owner of this exquisite photograph from Nancy Breakstone.

Nancy Breakstone is an award-winning photographer living in Westport, CT. Her large-scale photographs of ocean and shore are featured in private collections around the world from Rome and Sydney to Maui, Palm Springs, Martha’s Vineyard and New York City.

Nancy had driven by this field in South Salem for years and never considered taking a shot of this piece of old farm equipment until she saw the field covered in smoke from the Canadian fires a few years ago.

In her words: "I’m a full-time Fine Art photographer living in Westport, Connecticut. During the last eight years, I’ve developed a new form of abstract photography: extracting patterns never seen before from the objective…first in nature on the beach, now inland, even in the built world. It started in 2014 on a scorching beach in Costa Rica’s Guanacaste Province, when I saw the ocean cut extraordinary patterns in the volcanic sand. At first I collected them like seashells at the high tide line, but over 13 return visits, I discovered how to find more exciting images. Eventually, I joined the ocean in its process capturing patterns that only lasted for the seconds of a small wave. Then with the sun, sea and lens all at the correct angles, I made natural colors appear in the water and on the sand. I never Photoshop. The unique images you see are what I saw.
