A BIT ABOUT ME

• Kate MacKay O'Brien •

I have a passion for vibrant colors, visual design and creative pursuits. It led me to studying Art History at Trinity College (Hartford, CT) where I discovered my love of composition and contrast.

 

I became more focused with photography as my preferred art form later in life - even if I have loved snapping photos for as long as I can remember. It simply makes my heart happy. 

And moving to and now living full time in Newport, RI, it's hard not to be inspired by "the city by the sea" with its beautiful beaches, harbor and coastline. The color burst of sunset is pure magic each and every time. 

While my full time job has me busy being a Brand Marketing Director, I'm excited to share my colorful, sunset photos. My hope is that they remind you of happy days and treasured memories in and around Newport, Rhode Island.
