BIO

John Derryberry is a contemporary, fine art photographer whose work explores abstraction, discovery, and the beauty of the overlooked. Through series such as Alley Flowers and Unseen, he transforms commonplace urban and botanical subjects into meditative images that transcend literal representation. Influenced by abstract painters and photographers including Adolph Gottlieb, Aaron Siskind, Irving Penn, and Paul Klee, his work emphasizes form, light, and symbolic resonance. Derryberry’s photographs invite quiet contemplation, revealing accidental marks as if they were modern petroglyphs within everyday environments.
