Upland: Fine Art Landscape Photography of New England Fields and Forests
Upland is the inland counterpart to my coastal collections. The work is from fields, forests, paths, and trails, mostly in eastern Massachusetts and the surrounding region. World’s End in Hingham. The Boston Public Garden. Open hayfields and stone walls. The kind of New England landscape that does not get to the coast. These are limited […]
New Releases: The Latest Limited Edition Fine Art Photography by Mike Sleeper
New Releases is the most recent body of limited edition fine art photography I have made. Each piece in this collection is a new release within the last year or two. Some are from European trips, including Tuscany, Paris, and the Balmoral Estate in Scotland. Others are from New England, including new work from the […]
New England Coastal Art for Homes Outside New England
I get messages every month from people who used to live in New England and don’t anymore. They moved to Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, California. Their email always says some version of the same thing. I saw your photograph and it brought me back. New England coastal art works for those buyers in a […]
Why Timeless Fine Art Photography Outlasts Interior Trends
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer. The walls around the picture come and go. The picture, if it is the right picture, stays. I have been photographing the same coast, the same lakes, and the same European villages for thirty years. Living rooms have changed colors more times […]
Driftwood: Black and White Fine Art Photography from Moosehead Lake
Driftwood is the only collection I have that is almost entirely black and white. The work was made over many years on the freshwater lakes and inland streams of Maine, mostly Moosehead Lake and the surrounding wilderness north of Greenville. The subjects are weathered wood, fallen trees, burr reeds, pond lilies, and the patterns that […]
Why Limited Edition Fine Art Photography Holds Value
There is a difference between a limited edition fine art photograph and a print of a photograph that anyone can buy. Most buyers don’t think about the difference until they have lived with a piece for a while. Then they notice. The mass produced canvas they bought online is for sale on twenty other sites […]
Great Escapes: Large Fine Art Photographs of France, Italy, and Ireland
Great Escapes is the European collection. Most of the work is from France, where I have spent eight summers based in the Gers region of southwest France over the years. The rest is from Italy, including Tuscany, Florence, Rome, Venice, and the Amalfi Coast, with a smaller selection from Dublin and Scotland. These are limited […]
Why Neutral Tone Wall Art Outlasts Color Trends
Living rooms have been beige, then gray, then greige, then white, then warm white, then off-white, then back to warm tones. The cycle is shorter than most buyers realize. Roughly every seven years, the dominant interior palette shifts. Art chosen to match a specific palette moves out with that palette. Art chosen for its own […]
Fenway Park: Large Fine Art Photographs of the Green Monster and Fenway Park
I like to call Fenway Park the Cathedral of Baseball. Most of these photographs were made in the early 1990s, before the Green Monster scoreboard was replaced and before the park was modernized. With the help of park personnel back then, I was able to photograph rarely-seen areas of the building, including the inside of […]
Great Room Wall Art: How to Choose a Piece That Holds the Wall
Great rooms have a problem most other rooms don’t. The walls are too big for ordinary art. A 24 by 36 inch print that looks generous in a hallway disappears on a 14 foot wall. The piece is not bad. The room is just bigger than the piece. When that happens, the wall reads as […]
