Kathryn Dunlevie says of her series, 'Entanglement', "Recent human activity has brought about environmental change on a colossal scale. As increased levels of carbon dioxide in our air cause temperatures and sea levels to rise, the ecosystems upon which animals and plants depend suffer along with our natural and developed environments.
We can no longer avoid the fact that all aspects of the physical world are intricately linked. To illustrate this interconnectedness, I am combining my photographs of zoos, botanical gardens and natural history museums with my photographs of contemporary urban settings. The resulting images suggest our planet’s current state of disruption and the strange bedfellows this disruption creates.
As I build each composition, interweaving elements from the natural world with images from constructed spaces, displaced animals materialize in anomalous locations. Stunned to find themselves in alien surroundings – disoriented, mistrustful, even forlorn – they mutely proclaim their vulnerability, and remind us of our own."
Kathryn Dunlevie has always been intrigued by spatial and temporal inconsistencies, and by every individual’s particular and shifting sense of what is real. Fragmenting, reassembling and layering images, she suggests the fluidity of space and time and the complex psychologies of the entities she portrays.
Born in Atlanta, Dunlevie lived in six different states by the time she was 12, and in Paraguay when she was 16. She has a B.A. in fine arts from Rice University and studied art history and film at the University of Paris, painting at California College of the Arts, and photography in Madrid.
She has received numerous awards and fellowships, including two Arts Council Silicon Valley Artist Laureate Fellowships. Her work has been exhibited in the People's Republic of China twice at the Pingyao International Photography Festival, in Moscow with the US Art in Embassies Program, at Toronto’s Gallery TPW, and in the United States at FotoFest International, San Francisco Camerawork, PhotoAlliance, the Southeast Museum of Photography, Washington DC’s Art Museum of the Americas, and the Institute of Contemporary Art San Jose.
Her work has been reviewed in Spain’s La Fotografia Actual, Korea’s photo +, and in Germany’s Profifoto, as well as in Camerawork: A Journal of Photographic Arts, Visual Art Source, and AestheticsToday.blogs.

Martin Cox says, "I am LA-based artist and photographer inspired by the mark of time on a particular place. I make bodies of work in both black and white and color series that reference the mark of time in a landscape. I often work with film and alternative cameras seeking a specific atmosphere. I hope to make a moment of reflection in a hectic world that connects to the experience of being visually alive and to weave a narrative for the viewer to follow."
Cox grew up in the port of Southampton, England. A desire to explore landscape led him to California in his 20s. Settling in Los Angeles Cox trained as a master black & white analogue printer before going on to establish himself as a fine art photographer.
His photographs have been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and London. His work is in the collection of an Icelandic museum and in the LA Maritime Museum.
In the pandemic he restarted his dormant drawing practice which had begun in Southampton. Following the pandemic he resumed photography largely with alternative cameras and shooting with film. He continues his long running project No Trace where he follows the journey of early photographer and traveller Smeaton Chase through the desert 100 years later.

Marilyn Szabo/Kachina of Atonement I
Marilyn Szabo/Kachina of Atonement II
Marilyn Szabo says, "I am a photographer who specializes in documenting the history of Arizona; it’s culture and the community. While flying on assignment photographing the Little Colorado River in Northern Arizona I noticed a black rock land formation that captured my attention. It was a black out cropping about a mile long, seen from a plane at 10000 ft.
The Kachina of Atonement is the title of my ongoing project inspired by the natural landscape of Arizona where ancient Native American culture is prominent.
This strange and unique formation sparked my curiosity. It created a strong emotional response. I feel I have discovered something special, worthy to investigate. I have not found any record or acknowledgement of its existence as a geological formation. I now have dedicated five years documenting the site and doing interviews. I’ve driven to the site, flown over it again, walked over the top and recorded video to support the research. To me, it projected an eerie atmosphere; it looks like a sea animal in the desert. I now created a personal mythology in trying to describe how I feel. For all these reasons I imagined the formation as a new Kachina.
The photographs are twofold; they present archeology of the area and environmental land history. It also has a symbol of personal themes in my previous works — personal atonement, my quest for exploration, and continuing study of the history and geography of Arizona."
Marilyn Szabo is a photographer who has been capturing striking imagery fueled by her love of history and photography for over twenty five years. Her photography explores a variety of diverse subjects including architecture, landscape, and people, creating stunning and intimate works, preferring to work in series. Szabo was traditionally trained in photography, receiving her BA from Virginia Commonwealth University. Her artwork has been featured in numerous publications including Black and White, Focus, and Sun Magazine, and White Fish Review. Her work can be found in many public and private collections throughout the United States, as well as receiving a national literary magazine, awarded by Alligator Juniper in 2010 National Photography Award and the cover. She has received over 25,000 from various grants and commissions from Arizona Commission on the Arts, etc. In 2018 the Mesa Art Center exhibited 42 iconic portraits.
Beginning in 2003, Szabo tirelessly worked on a large curatorial project for Alliance Bank of AZ called At Work in Arizona. The collection is a 100 years of economic history. Szabo conducted extensive research and the selection of over 380 images that are exhibited in Alliance Bank’s 11 locations in the state. 100 of her images are in the collection. In 2014, after 2.5 years of work a coffee table book, 168 pages, titled At Work in Arizona: The First 100 Years was published.
She is represented by Royse Contemporary, Scottsdale, AZ.

Linda Briskin says of her series, 'The Architecture of Nature', "The landscape of nature is compelling, insistent and extraordinary. The seriesThe Architecture of Naturecaptures the layers of earth and memory in the expanse of Joshua Tree and Death Valley National Parks in California. In Death Valley, 1.8 billion-year-old metamorphic rocks are part of a complex rock record of all geologic time.
On the other side of the continent, Green Point Beach on the west coast of Newfoundland is the official international reference point for the world's geologic time scale. These three triptych of stone layers from 500 million years shift from breadth and sweep to close-up images taken at the cliff face at Green Point.
Each image is a study in lines and textures, and intriguing in its color palette. Each is a memorial to the persistence of the earth. Each represents a different moment in the history of time. Each reminds us to appreciate the offerings of the earth."
Linda Briskin is a writer and fine art photographer. She is intrigued by the ambiguities in what we choose to see. She is inspired by the fluid crossover between the imagined and the real, the natural and the constructed, and the authentic and the fabricated. In these interstices, viewers are provoked and unsettled. She has a passion for nature and seek lines, shadows, texture and reflections, and images that last only a breath. As a writer, she is attracted to the conversation between text and image in the Greek tradition of Ekphrasis (the cross-inspiration of art disciplines.)
She exhibits widely, has had numerous solo exhibitions, and participated in many group shows. Briskin’s images have been chosen for many online juried shows. Recently for Urban Landscapes sponsored by NY Photo Curator (Honorable Mention), Abandoned at Chateau Gallery (Kentucky) and The Same But DifferentExhibition sponsored by NY Center for Photographic Art (Honourable Mention.) Her photographs have been published in many literary journals and camera magazines: recently, inPhotoEd Canadian Camera, The Poeming Pidgeon, The Hopper, South85, Humana Obscura, Tiny Seed Literary Journal and Masque & Spectacle.

Lev L. Spiro/Myth of Sisyphus #6
Lev L. Spiro says of his series, 'The Myth of Sisyphus', "I grew up idealizing the natural world as a refuge from urbanity, a place of solace and spiritual renewal, and a source of awe and transcendence. But nature is not always a kind and loving entity; it can be fearsome, uncaring, and unforgiving. We fail to respect the natural world at our own peril.
I found the timeless, primordial landscapes of Iceland overwhelming in their sheer scale and volcanic, glacial wildness. As I made these images I tried to imagine how the first human settlers must have marveled and quailed at the sight of them.
Camus, in The Myth of Sisyphus, posited that we constantly try to imbue our world with meaning, when it has none. Indifferent to the human struggle for understanding, it merely exists, as we merely exist in it. Yet he encouraged us to rebel against the absurdity of our situation, to revel in our freedom, and to strive to live authentically and passionately.
With this encouragement in mind I allowed myself to embrace Iceland's fierce, rugged beauty, at once menacing and enlivening, even as I set out to portray the harsh indifference of the physical world, and our own diminutive status in it."
Lev L. Spiro is a fine art photographer whose work tries to convey the sense of mystery and wonder he finds in the natural world.
His work has been juried into more than 55 exhibitions, including the A. Smith Gallery, Davis Orton Gallery, Southeast Center for Photography, Ph21 Gallery, Midwest Center for Photography, and Praxis Gallery, as well as featured in publications including Dodho Magazine, Shadow & Light Magazine, All About Photo, Black + White UK, What Will You Remember?, and Art Ascent Magazine (Gold Artist, June 2021; Silver Artist, July 2023, Distinguished Artist July 2024). He currently teaches "The Artful Garden" and "Story & Emotion in the Natural World" for Santa Fe Workshops.
