Look for the Light

With the passing of Mother’s Day and at the start of summer, it’s back to basics and yes, simpler times.

Here’s an image just rediscovered taken last February on Playa Guiones, Costa Rica at sunset. At a time when the world seems so daunting, so complex, it brings me back to the simplicity and wonder of light.

Although I have pursued other means of creative expression in recent years, photography always pulls me back to my roots. And when looking for inspiration or just a simple lift, I simply look for the light.

It’s where the universe speaks with no words, where the magic shines bright, and where love resides unconditionally, asking for nothing in return...

Meryl Spiegel

Meryl Spiegel is a photographic artist, whose work reflects her relentless curiosity whether she is on the street, in the fields or by the water. A former journalist for The New York Times with an MFA in Creative Writing, she now focuses primarily on her artwork, but is thrilled to share her thoughts here about how her creative life continues to evolve and expand.

“I picked up a camera years ago thinking it was the only way I could render humanity and its wonders,” she recalls. “Then three years ago, I began to draw and ultimately paint, not knowing I could.”

Also an educator, Meryl teaches photography as well as yoga, a passion that fuels her creativity off the mat. Regularly, she conducts photographic workshops at East End Arts. Last year the Center Moriches Library was awarded a grant from the NY State Council on the Arts to fund a Composition class conducted by Meryl and offered free to its patrons. This summer and fall, she will be conducting more classes at the library.

Meryl lives with her husband, Steven, and her hound dog, Copper, in East Quogue —where she raised her two daughters, Lauren, a Westhampton real estate agent, and Jaclyn, a financial analyst in Manhattan.
