STARLIGHT, PA — Hancock photographer Arthur W. Pierson is the featured artist for the month of April at The Inn at Starlight Lake Gallery on Starlight Lake Road. His personal work often includes the themes of rust and pealing paint. And yes, it is “pealing” and not “peeling.” Different colors evoke different emotions, and Pierson is drawn to rich, saturated tones, and feels that often, it’s the way they are contrasted with muted, desaturated colors that can make an image work.

Pierson studied photography at Rochester Institute of Technology, where he received a Bachelor of Science from the Collage of Photographic Arts and Sciences. Before relocating back to New York, he was based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, producing commercial photography for over 30 years for a wide variety of projects and clients around the country.
