JerriLynn Woolley is a local photographer that loves to capture images of the coast in all its moods. She loves sunrises and sunsets, boats in the bay, bridge, lighthouses and the coast. She is happiest when she can capture what she sees and share it with others. When asked what is her favorite thing to photograph, she would say that it is old boats, cars, barns, etc. She loves to preserve a glimpse of history with her images. And second to that is sunsets and sunrises with each one being unique and unpredictable. She has her work at Saturday Markets in the summer in Newport, shares her photographs with Oregon Coast Magazine, and is in a couple galleries on the coast and on their website, www.oregoncoastphotography.com.
JerriLynn loves to hike and explore new places with her husband, Laren, so they are constantly taking new images to share. She will share with you some of her new images from along the Oregon Coast as well as some from the Southwest where she spent several weeks this past fall and spring. JerriLynn is active in the local Yaquina Art Association, YAA Photographers as well as the Artists Studio Association and Artist’s Co-op Gallery in Lincoln City.

This show will be a combination of past and recent watercolor original paintings combined with acrylic paintings on canvas. She states, “I love both mediums, although different, because they enable me to express my love of color and shape!”
