Artwork on Display @ Lucy's in Babylon





Greetings! After much procrastination I have finally installed my artwork at Lucy's Bistro in Babylon Village. For those of you who live more exciting places, this is on Long Island. Lucy's is a great little cafe tucked in an alley way with live music, a great wine list and tasty food, and my artwork of adourning the walls!

Desperately missing Colorado and my adventures gallavanting around the Southwest, I decided to juxtapose a series of shots from my vast travels west of the Mississippi with super macro shots of cactus and flowers from around the world. They are framed in old white window panes, a very neat creation that i have envisioned for some time.

The show will run until November, whenI will have an artist reception from 4-7pm, (I have to finalize the date with the owners) where you can come and drink wine, eat cheese, and purchase artwork. Hope to see you there.

Directions to Lucy's can be found on their website: http://www.lucysbistro.com/

Any questions please call me @ (631)278-9514 or email me at contact@sarafurey.com

My website is slowly coming to fruition, I'm trying to decide which photographs to upload, which is a stressful process since I will be using the site to showcase my portfolio to graduate admissions at Yale and R.I.S.D. Any suggestions? Check back soon! http://www.sarafurey.com/

Shot in Sydney








I was living in Sydney, I liked taking photos of myself doing strange things like playing in the laundry lines, taking photos of my boyfriend skating when the light was really amazing, and an old tram depot with a plethora of amazing graffiti and crazy old street cars. This place is in Glebe, and for me, it was the photographic equivalent of Disney World. Next time I go back there, I'll better prepared with a bigger tripod, and hopefully the weather will be better, the lighting was very difficult and dark. It was a sketchy place, and it usually takes a lot to scare me off, but needles and homeless men did the trick, and I didn't return as much as I would have liked to re-shoot. Still, the depot is amazing, a dream come true.
