CURRENT EXHIBIT
The Photography of Heather Summerz
Artist Statement
My home has always been Marin County. I have delighted in the abundance of photographic opportunities that nature has bestowed upon us here and have greedily taken advantage of them.
Currently I reside in a beguiling Redwood forest with my husband and am pleased to have a front row seat at nature’s perpetual concert.
I find myself consistently returning to the same inspiring locations, knowing that there is always more to be discovered in the unfolding flux of nature. As the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, “You cannot step in the same river twice.”
Prior to this chapter in my life, I practiced psychotherapy for 25 years During those years, I learned that both psychotherapy and photography share a common thread: the art of discovery. In psychotherapy, it is discovering what resides on the inside, and in photography, it is discovering what resides on the outside.
I hope to introduce an emotive component to my work, promoting a lingering effect that resides beyond the visual and allows for the interplay of personal associates, it is my hope that this reflective pause engages the viewer in a temporal relationship, thereby becoming an integral part of the creative process.
For the past eight years, I have been fortunate enough to exhibit my work in local galleries, most notably Cavallo Point in Sausalito and currently at Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur.

ART ON THE RANCH
Art at Sierra Mar
While dining at Sierra Mar, one can’t help but notice the works of art both on their plate and on the walls. Art exhibits rotate several times throughout the year, always with an emphasis on local artists, along with a permanent installation of two curved steel lamps by renowned artist Albert Paley.
