    ABOUT THE SPEAKER - Shelley Lawrence Kirkwood
        

Shelley Lawrence Kirkwood is an American photographer and writer whose work explores memory, place, and themes of transience depicted through the landscape. Deeply rooted in observation and attuned to the natural world, her practice blends fine art photography, literary sensibility, and curatorial insight.     

Kirkwood earned a BA in photography from Hampshire College and an MFA from the University of Arizona. Her formative years in New England and experience in curatorial departments helped shape her interdisciplinary approach. Since her first exhibition in 1994 at the Midtown Y Gallery in NYC, she has exhibited extensively across the US and internationally.  

She now lives and works in a restored 19th-century church in western Massachusetts. Her current work explores the fusion of 19th-century anthotype processes with contemporary photographic methods.
