Illinois Tech’s prestigious Institute of Design was founded by Bauhaus alumni, Lázló Moholy-Nagy in 1937. The Design Institute offered one of the first university photography programs, which ran from the early 1940s to the mid-1970s.

Leaders in photography Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind were among its faculty, which also included luminaries like John Cage and Buckminster Fuller. Renowned photographer Linda Connor, a beloved professor at the San Francisco Art Institute from 1969 through its closure in 2022, graduated from the Design Institute with a photography degree, and has praised its photography program.

I am thrilled to become a part of this long photographic history.

Intimate Conversation 11 I Thought I Heard the Wind Whisper
Catalog

Salon Jane was founded by Jane Olin in 2014. The collective consists of six Monterey Bay based photographic artists: Robin V. Robinson, Jane Olin, Robin Ward, Martha Casanave, Susan Hyde Greene, and Anna Rheim. Each artist creates work outside of the deep-rooted West Coast tradition of straight photography.

Coming together in 2014, the six members of Salon Jane shared feedback and inspiration that created a safe atmosphere for risk taking and creative evolution. Salon Jane quickly evolved into a group of exhibition artists. Their first exhibition was at Green Chalk Gallery in Monterey in 2014 and followed by three unique exhibitions in 2017. In 2018, Salon Jane became a vital part of the Monterey Museum of Art’s Year of the Women with their exhibition The Ethereal Zone.

“Salon Jane’s work is a beautiful demonstration of California’s vibrant spirit. These women have created a dynamic grouping of diverse imagery and a strong intellectual and critical support system. It propels art into the future and sparks creativity in all of us.” - Stuart Chase, former Executive Director of Monterey Museum of Art

In July 2018, I traveled to Arles, France for Les Rencontres de la Photographie, with my friend photographer, Meredith Mullins.

Arles is a beautiful, historic city dating back to Roman times with striking ruins throughout the city. Pop-ups, openings, artist talks, street artists, lovely dinners and parties were all on the daily menu. 

I experienced everything from an impeccable Robert Frank exhibition to donning goggles for a virtual exhibition accompanied by original poetry and music. 

My five photography reviews were informative and extremely positive. It was a spectacular international festival that I highly recommend attending.
