Canterbury Art Show
Labor Day Weekend 
September 4th-6th  

 

A treasure for sure... 

 



Returning artist to our fourth Canterbury Art Show:  Steve Scanlon, a landscape and nature photographer focusing on the Two River areas of Monmouth County.  

Born and raised in Fair Haven and enjoying childhood family camping trips to majestic Maine, Steve developed an appreciation for nature which is apparent in his life's work and his art.  

He started a landscaping business at the young age of 15 while attending Rumson - Fair Haven Regional High School. Then, after earning his Bachelor's Degree in Journalism from Rutgers University, he decided to expand his landscaping business and has grown it into a very successful enterprise.

"Working outdoors gives me plenty of subject material for my photography.  Here in beautiful Monmouth County I find myself focusing on both land and seascapes.  Early morning sunrises are my favorite.  I also try to incorporate the moon or a planet which adds to the challenge of capturing light and reflections.  I don't think I'll ever get bored striving for the perfect shot."
