About Sather
A Biographical Note
Born in Oakland, California in 1940, Kenneth Hamilton Sather Bruguière is the grandson of pioneering photographer Francis Joseph Bruguière (1879-1945). Although largely self-taught Sather Bruguière's work has been part of a life-long study of art and artists. For over forty years he has been specializing in regional land and waterscapes throughout the United States. Working in oil, he has also painted in Canada, Spain, Greece, and the Middle East. Since 1963 Bruguière's work has appeared in numerous regional and national juried exhibitions as well as galleries from San Francisco to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. During most of this period he supported himself as an airline pilot from 1967 until his retirement from the airlines in 2000. Now, Bruguière has returned to photography and painting full-time and continues his work in Louisville, Kentucky. Since 1989, he has lived in Louisville with his wife, their (now) two teenage children, three cats, and one riverdog.
