Sondra Wampler

From her first public showing at the Oakland Museum at the age of 9, Sondra Wampler was trained in traditional art as the language of personal expression. At 16 her artistic focus was forever changed when she was given the retired family camera for her personal use. Wampler completed the Commercial Photography program at Santa Monica College in 1982, in pursuit of an advertising photography career. Eventually her focus returned to fine art, her contemplative observation of nature seen in the sensitive treatment of her subjects. Wampler's use of the organic is showcased in her floral still life and botanical images using natural light. A certain romanticism is felt in her delicate use of the lens. Drawing from many sources to create her images and paying homage to Cunningham and the Westons, Wampler uses methods sensitive to the understanding of light and atmosphere. Brought to the studio and contemplated, nature is given the delicate portrayal that Sondra Wampler brings to her art. Her work can be found in public, private and corporate collections throughout the country.
