Kevin Savage: "New England Through My Lens"

Wednesday, November 1, 2023—Tuesday, January 9, 2024

Kevin Savage is a self-taught, freelance photographer based in Glastonbury. His photography journey started as a hobby while hiking nearby trails and running along sections of the Connecticut River in town. Kevin’s work focuses on New England landscape scenes, particularly country roads, barns, and farmland.

In 2021, with encouragement from friends and family, Kevin launched his business pages on Instagram and Facebook. He has a growing following across these social media platforms and has been featured in numerous photography hubs.

In 2022, Kevin began to receive requests for prints and is pleased to have sold his photos to many local customers. He is thankful to Joel Kurlan with JW Frame Crafters for his consultation and is proud to have his images printed in town. In fact, you will often find Kevin in South Glastonbury at his favorite local coffee shop meeting customers to chat about his photography. His work has been on the cover of Glastonbury Lifestyle magazine, the Wethersfield Town Guide, and featured by Yankee Magazine on Instagram. In addition, Kevin’s photos have been highlighted by the Equinox Resort, Town of Yarmouth, and Connecticut and Vermont Department of Tourism.

"New England Through My Lens" features photos from around town taken in different seasons along with a few other landscape scenes from some of the artist's favorite places across New England (e.g. Cape Cod, Vermont).

Art installations and receptions made possible by the Second Century Fund

Upcoming Exhibits:
- January/February 2024: "Buoyancy": The Fantastical Floating Islands of Eric Urquhart
