Susumu Kishihara was born in Nakatsu, Oita Prefecture, on Japan's southern island of Kyushu and has been creating art in Provincetown, Massachusetts, for six years. In that brief span of time, the self-taught artist has quickly become a prized photographer of nature. Kishihara has won several awards and has had his work included in a number of books on nature. In his first exhibit at Berta Walker Gallery, his work was so moving that the entire group was purchased and donated to a health facility in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
