Sally Mitchell

Rockport, TX - United States

In my youth, I was a dancer. When the real world encroached, I pursued a career as a librarian. After retiring and moving to the Texas coast, I began walking the beach and quickly became enthralled with the ‘dances’ of the egrets, herons, and other shore birds. I began taking snapshots; before I knew it, I had developed an obsession with photographing these magical creatures.

My favorite subjects are still the birds that provide an ever-changing drama free for the viewing. I try to capture their movement and graceful lines, their personalities and interactions. But I enjoy photographing many subjects in many styles.

My photographs have been accepted by VIREO (Visual Resources for Ornithology) (www.ansp.org/research/vireo/index.php). One of my photos has been published in the book 'Global Birding' by Les Beletsky, published by National Geographic. For the last four years, my photos have won awards in the South Texas Photo Contest. My work is displayed at Wind Way Gallery and the Rockport Center for the Arts, both in Rockport, Texas, and at the Art Center for the Islands in Port Aransas, Texas.
