Greenville, SC
Abbott has been exploring the art of photography since 1971. He is originally from the Monterey Peninsula in California, and lived there for over thirty-five years. He used this point as a travel base to photograph the fantastic landscapes of the Peninsula, Northern and Southern California, and North America. But sometimes life takes us to funny places. Abbott made his way east, and has settled in Greenville, South Carolina. His images are documents of the people and places that have, in some way, shaped his life journey. His approach to making art from nature is to simply go out and experience places that he would find intriguing. He says, “I enjoy taking my time to just wander, and get to know an area to see what it has to offer, not just photographically, but spiritually. The photographs reveal themselves when the time is right.” He is interested in studying the seemingly mundane; the places and objects that are often overlooked or deemed unimportant.
