about Wendy Garfinkel
Female
Fascinated with visual art and expression & movement in dance, my artistic nature began in childhood. I was deeply affected by still images from magazines that spread information about the far-off war in Vietnam, the MoMA photography show called The Family of Man by Steichen, the shock of a Diane Arbus monograph as well as fashion photographers Scavullo and Avedon. Growing up in Charleston, SC I was exposed to the fullness and depth of creative possibilities when I saw stage productions during the annual Spoleto Festival. I was hooked when I saw how a photo came to life in a development tray during summer camp for young artists in my junior year of high school at the Atlanta College of Art.
Today I reside in Athens, GA where I have worked steadily in the photography medium since 2014. Before that, I was an award-winning graphic designer for over 20 years. I was educated at RISD, NYU, and University of the Arts. I have always experimented with photography as an art form for many decades prior and today I can devote myself full-time to my artistic efforts
Wonderful body of diverse work, Wendy. Be exciting to chat with you one day. Your images display a perspective more centered around reality and life than most I see these days, and that intrigues me to no end. I have enjoyed going through your portfolio this evening. It was the highlight of my day.
