Art and Wine Auction-Mike Putnam
Sparks Lake Sunrise by Mike Putnam
As the 18th Annual Art and Wine Auction draws near, we’d like to give you a little preview of the auction artists. Today’s featured artist is Mike Putnam.
Fine Art landscape photographer, Mike Putnam has enjoyed a passion for the wonders of the natural world for his entire life. After finishing his doctorate in Veterinary Medicine, Mike and his wife Debbie moved to their current home in Bend, Oregon. The amazing beauty and diversity that help to define Central Oregon inspired Mike to become a professional landscape photographer. As Mike exclusively utilizes a large format film camera his work has an artisan characteristic that is difficult to replicate with newer digital cameras. The meticulous workflow required by his wooden 4×5 camera and the perspective control that it offers allow Mike to capture the depth and essence of the natural world. Mike’s fine art prints can be found in countless corporate and private collections throughout the United States. For more information about his beautiful photography, please visit his website at Mike Putnam Photography.
You can bid on Mike’s piece at the 18th Annual Art and Wine Auction on May 7th at the Riverhouse Convention Center. For tickets and more information, visit Deschutes Children’s Foundation.
