Still Life With Stem (above) by Sally Mattison at the Burrison Gallery. Some of her photographs are intended to tell a story or comment on a setting, while others are intended to convey a mood or “simply” to aesthetically please.

A Visible Feast—Photography by Sally Mattison is now at the Burrison Gallery through December 18. A reception is scheduled for Friday, December 5 from 6-8 p.m. in the Burrison Gallery.

Her goal is to spot and photograph images of nature, truth and beauty (not necessarily all in the same picture)—to document some of what is lovely, fascinating or significant in the world around us. She tries to capture what it is in her surroudnings that excites and moves her. In all of them, she endeavors to seek out dramatic lighting and/or striking colors and to create eye-catching compositions.

Priscilla “Sally” Mattison is a Penn Law graduate who has worked as an entertainment lawyer since 2000. Her strong visual sense, combined with a musical background and a love of drama, first led her to a career in film and television. She began pursuing photography as a creative outlet in the late 1990s, when several of her photographs were published in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Her images have been exhibited widely and are held in private collections across the US and in Germany.
