Effie Malley lives in Portsmouth and composes digital photographs in color and black and white, mostly of nature, city scenes, and landscapes. Her portfolio reflects her interest in formal composition, abstraction, and the effects of light. Her passion for art and photography began in youth, as she frequented New York museums and galleries and studied photography, drawing, and painting. In college she studied film photography at the University of New Hampshire with Richard D. Merritt. She worked at the UNH Photo Services Department, and later the UNH Art Museum. She has recently had exhibits at 3S Artspace and a solo show at the Portsmouth Public Library.
