SUMMARY:Co-Creative Sessions: Scott Sullivan Photography
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we we will discuss the various components associated with photography & producing high quality composition & work. \n\n\n\n\n\nChange of date: Now November 16\, 2022 \n\n\n\nThis workshop is designed to layout and discuss the concepts of photography.

If they are a pro surfer or snowboarder there is a good chance Scott has shot them shooting & working with such figures as Dave Rastovich\, John John Florence\, Travis Rice\, Bjorn Leins\, & Nicolus Mueller to name a few. However\, Scotts real passion is working with others helping them discover their innate & inner artist within.  \n\n\n\nScott is the real deal\, a beautiful person inside and out and we hope you join and enjoy all that he has to offer.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Creative Sessions is a free and accessible online series geared to enrich\, educate and connect creatives through a series of workshops and training sessions.

Originally from Rhode Island Scott grew up surfing on the East Coast eventually making his way out west in his late teens.  \n\n\n\nScott\, alongside his wife Natalie and wonderul daughters (Flora & Scarlett) travel the world doing what they love to do – surf\, explore\, & be merry. Prior to living in Port Angeles Scott & his family resided in Encinitas\, CA where they still own a home. In addition to his photography work Scott is an avid musician playing his music throughout the snow & surf communities he has called home for most of his life.

He enjoys the creation of graphic novels to play with realism and fantasy; a place where he can have complete control over the boundaries. By mimicking traditional styles and studying new trends\, his style is all his own. This style\, along with humor\, and proficient execution\, encourages the viewer to think beyond the image in front of them. \n\n\n\nKristin Lessard\, Visitor Experience Program Manager\, Weir Farm National Historical Park in CT: Kristin Lessard has worked for the National Park Service since 2008\, serving in varied professional roles across multiple disciplines including Resource Interpretation\, Education\, Public Affairs\, Project Management\, and Youth and Volunteer Engagement.

First she taught at Ball State University and Pacific University\, and then she became a technical writer and program manager at Intel Corp.\, working with companies across the world. But when her family downsized to two\, she decided to pursue art: ceramics at first\, then painting and drawing. Through a couple of serendipitous events in the 1980s\, Deborah and family moved from the midwest to the northwest\, designed and built her home\, and fell in love with the plush green biosphere and its natural inhabitants. Now\, at the ripe age of retirement\, this year Deborah finally earned her PhD in the philosophy of art\, writing on the topic of artist residencies as a little-known resource for world-wide peacemaking\, which is especially relevant and needed in the fractured living environments we suffer today.
