Artistic Encounters -Meet the Artist essentially takes the artist from behind the camera and welcomes them into the Blue Ridge PBS studio. This provides our arts loving audience the opportunity to meet the featured artist while they introduce their works one on one. Specially curated pieces from their collection will be on display during the reception and for several weeks afterwards with many available to take home by making a donation to Blue Ridge PBS. Additionally, each artist will donate one piece to Blue Ridge PBS which will then be auctioned the night of the artist’s reception. Proceeds benefit the artist and Blue Ridge PBS so it may continue its mission of enriching people’s lives by providing educational, informational, and cultural programming that fills a unique role as a positive and lifelong resource for the communities we serve.
Join us for the next Meet The Artist reception on July 25!
Sienna Turecamo is a luxury wedding and editorial photographer specializing in medium format film. She currently lives in Roanoke and is based on the East Coast of the United States and Europe. Her career began while studying at the University of Virginia where, according to Sienna, “I discovered the power a photograph had to make a difference in the world through its ability to illustrate beauty of a subject and tell their story.”
Throughout her career as a wedding and editorial photographer she has photographed many influential figures such as Sheila Johnson, co-founder of Black Entertainment Television as well as individuals from the Baltimore Ravens. Additionally, her work has been published in many distinguished magazines, such as BRIDES, Engaged, MiddleburgLife, and most recently Business Insider. Sienna was named an inspiring female entrepreneur as well as a top photographer by Virginia Bride Magazine.
“Above all else, I am an artist, which is what I was put on this Earth to do - create.” –Sienna Turecamo
