I am a native of the Pioneer Valley, in the western part of Massachusetts. I have been passionate about photography since childhood, but it was when I moved to Colorado that I knew I had found my calling. My travels to the breathtaking landscapes and national parks of the four corner states provided endless opportunities to create dramatic photos. With this inspiration, I returned home to earn my BFA in Photography from the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford in 2018. 

I have two areas of focus in my photography. The first is food and wine, where I make beautiful, natural food and wine into delicious works of art. The second is nature photography, capturing both the dramatic vistas and the intimate vignettes.

Cady’s work will be on display from November 11th - December 28th

Tasting room will be closing promptly at 6 PM on this day for a private event being held at our winery.

Meet local artist Arielle Jessop at our "Meet the Artist" series here at Black Birch Vineyard.  Arielle completed her undergraduate degree in Studio Art and Art History at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.  After completing her bachelor degree she studied Art History in Italy and traveled Europe extensively, working her way across the map. Arielle’s extensive travel experience and interest in human interaction, specifically language, has contributed to her vocabulary as an artist. “Visual art has become my language; it is the medium with which I have chosen to express my desire to contribute to the society I live in." A native of Amherst MA, she is inspired by the beauty of the farmland and landscape that surrounds her and she finds joy in painting the gems that the earth provides.

More information about Arielle can be found here: Facebook, Instagram or Etsy

Arielle Jessop's work will be on display from June 24th - August 22nd.
