Winter's Depths: Two Perspectives with photographs by Sara Wight and James M. Patterson will be on display at the PHOTOSTOP Gallery from Dec. 4th through Dec.29. A reception for the photographers will be held on Dec. 4th from 5-9 pm with a gallery talk by the artists at 7:30 pm.NYC fine art photographer Sara Wight and local documentary photographer James M. Patterson will be showing photographs taken in New England that focus on winter from two different, but complementary, points of view. Wight's work depicts the relationship between human life and nature, with its delicate balances, fragility, and interconnections. Patterson's work focuses on the relationship those who have chosen to live in the North Country have with winter, both by choice, and out of necessity. In Patterson's work, life goes on in winter, not despite the weather, but because of it.

She has worked as an art director with some of the top photographers in the world and her photography is held in many private collections. Patterson has been a Valley News photographer since 2004.
