I grew quiet yesterday feeling the weight of the past year. Some times you just need to draw back and be in that space, the space of quiet, the space of contemplation, and then the space of acceptance. We can’t change the circumstances of the pandemic we are all in. We can only find ways to get through it, and with inner work, grow stronger from the experience. I’ve been through a lot of hard times, loss and grief in my life, These things have made me a stronger, better person. What we are all experiencing right now is part of the collective path that we are all in, in own way, in our our own places and spaces.
I’ve been working on a new online fine art photography shop. Currently I have a selection of 8″ x 12″ Giclee Prints – Iris and Peony Prints and Banks Dory Prints – available as well as a selection of Summer Garden Note Cards in 4″ x 8″ and 5″ x 7″ sizes. I’ll be adding more prints, framed and matted prints and some gift items, mugs and tote bags, in the near future.

Yellow Sunflower with Orange Center
My creativity has been at a stand still since the pandemic. Here’s to changing that…
The Banks Dory was first built by Simeon Lowell at Lowell’s Boat Shop in Amesbury, Massachusetts. Simeon Lowell founded Lowell’s Boat Shop on the banks of the Merrimack River in Amesbury, Massachusetts in 1793. Lowell’s Boat Shop is now a working museum and on the National Register of Historic Places.
My fascination with photographing the Banks Dories and other Wooden Boats at Lowell’s Boat Shop started about a decade ago when I lived down the street from the boat shop. In the afternoon, sitting at my desk, I could see the sun reflecting off the west side of the building. One day I was moved to grab my camera and go across the street to take photos of the boat’s reflections on the river. I’ve spent hours on the banks of the river at Lowell’s Boat Shop over the years immersing myself in the imagery, the colors and movement.
The fine art photos available below are some of my favorites, I hope they will be your favorites too.

Artist Statement: As a photographer I am drawn to color, light, movement, patterns and reflections that occur in nature. I am a visual spatial person who naturally sees what is before my eyes within a frame. Throughout my life I have been inspired by art and nature, each in their many forms. Photography a marvelous medium for me as multimedia artist, writer and photographer, as it provides an instant gratification of creating something tangible that I can share with others. I hope you find inspiration in my work, and invest in my artistic vision. With gratitude… Pamela Leavey
These beautiful Iris and Peonies are amongst the gardens at Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, Massachusetts. I’m particularly fond of shooting florals. My mother had the most beautiful gardens when I was a child, including peonies and iris. Flowers are so expressive and colorful. They beg out to be remembered in fine art photography prints.

We’re all searching for ways to stay afloat in the midst of turbulent times. Many of us have lost our anchors, be it our jobs – our financial stability or physical contact with the people in our lives who are often there when we need someone to hold us up. It is a tough time for everyone right now. And more then ever we need to pull together, and help each through this unprecedented time of social and physical distancing.
Today, I re-mind myself that in this time or so many people, all around the world, staying at home, staying sheltered, staying afloat — we can all work together to make our world a better place. I set my intent today and everyday to do my part in working to make the world a better place and strive help keep others afloat. And so it is… Intent makes manifest. Namaste.
