Three photogravure prints were in the show at Flower City Arts Center during the month of April. Photos forthcoming.
Photogravure is a photo-mechanical intaglio printmaking process. This process expands the creative options for the artist because of the possibilities within traditional intaglio printmaking.
The image “Xmas Trees” was chosen for the September 2019 exhibition “Trees” sponsored by The New York Center for Photographic Art. I am honored to have been included in the show!

LIFE OF WATER
JUROR | Jennifer Shaw
Juror’s Statement
Water makes up two thirds of the earth’s surface, and sixty percent of our bodies. It is a pleasure, a salve, a necessity, a means of livelihood, a precious resource, a threat. The photographs selected for this exhibition reflect broadly on our relationship to water, with perspectives ranging from the personal to the political.”

National Parks Arts Foundation Residency in Death Valley National Park
This January I was honored to be chosen as an Artist in Residence in Death Valley National Park with the National Parks Arts Foundation, a wonderful non-profit organization that offers Artist in Residence Programs, Museum In-Loan Programs, and Workshops in conjunction with our National Parks. Throughout January I was able to spend time photographing Death Valley National Park, an incredibly beautiful part of our national heritage. I will be sharing my work in the coming months, my most sincere gratitude to NPAF for their support of the arts. Please check out their website and learn more!
“This ‘intangible negotiation’ between positive and negative, this trade we make between visible and invisible is the common theme guiding the visitors through the temporary exhibition Absence, set at the roman space Millepiani from the 3rd to the 31st May 2018.”
The day after Christmas the American Tradition series was published in an article on the Lenscratch website. Aline Smithson wrote a summary of the work and featured ten photos. Much appreciation to Lenscratch for this publication! Read the article on the Lenscratch website here.
“I’ve always found the before and after affects of the holidays to be depressing. There is something very off about shopping for Christmas decorations in August and something alarming about how quickly each holiday is discarded in order to move on to the next. In the case of living products that are grown for holiday consumption, ie pumpkins or turkeys, the idea is even more troubling. Photographer Sarah Weeden has been chronicling the consumer cycles of the Christmas Tree by capturing the discarded carcasses of these large beautiful living things. Shot at night, her photographs are like Noir who-done-it stories, small crimes that will disappear with early morning sounds of the garbage truck.”
