About the Artists

About Sheri Lynn Behr

Sheri Lynn Behr is a photographer and visual artist with an interest in technology, photography without permission, and the ever-present electronic screens through which we view the world. Her work shifts between highly manipulated, digitally-enhanced images and traditional, documentary-style photographs. Behr studied photography and digital imaging in New York City and began her career photographing musicians and celebrities. Her rock and roll photographs were featured in most music publications of the time, and are still collected, exhibited, and licensed for publication.

After several years working in the music business, Behr decided to concentrate on personal work. Her photography projects have explored Polaroid manipulations, New York City’s Chinatown, the iconic Lucky Cat, and several series on surveillance and privacy.

Behr’s work has been exhibited extensively; venues include the Griffin Museum of Photography, the Amon Carter Museum of Art, MIT Museum, Center for Creative Photography, Soho Photo, and SRO Gallery at Texas Tech. Her photographs appear in publications worldwide and online, and she has received a Fellowship in Photography from the New Jersey State Council of the Arts, a grant from the Puffin Foundation, and a New York City Artist Corps Grant. She is currently based in Los Angeles.

About Tsar Fedorsky  

Tsar Fedorsky is a photographer based in Gloucester, Massachusetts. She is a Guggenheim Fellow, a Fulbright Scholar, and the recipient of a Massachusetts Cultura Council Artist Fellowship. Her photographs have been exhibited and published nationally and worldwide.

Tsar recently collaborated with Marc Zegans, a California-based poet, during an artist residency at the Manship Artists Residency. Their collaboration resulted in a limited-edition photo book titled Ghost Book, published in 2024 by Kite String Press. Tsar holds an MFA in Photography from the University of Hartford and a BA from Amherst College.

About Rachel Phillips

Rachel (b. 1983) began photography while completing her undergraduate degree at Skidmore College, graduating in 2005.  In numerous group and solo exhibitions she has presented a series of projects exploring the photograph as object, often resulting in unique works incorporating a specialized transfer printing technique as well as other processes like encaustic wax and materials ranging from old envelopes to 19th century cabinet cards. A frequent theme in the work is a desire to “reanimate” the vernacular photographs and paper ephemera in her collection by reworking them in a variety of ways to create imagery that is resonant with the past yet has a new vitality and reflection of our own time and perspective.

In addition to photography, Rachel works in the San Francisco Bay Area as a tutor for children with learning differences, and served as the Executive Director of the community-based nonprofit PhotoAlliance from 2022-2024.

About Meg Griffiths

Meg Griffiths is an artist, educator, and the Co-Founder of A Yellow Rose Project.

The wide arc of her work grapples with the various modes of domestic, cultural, and political engagement that structure female experience in the United States. Her inquiries are driven by a desire to capture, develop and share a closer understanding of (self-identifying) female subjects. Each project she creates, whether individual or collaborative, focused on the personal or the collective, are at heart about the intrinsic connection between self and other, between interiority and positionality, as much as kinship and community.

Her work has traveled nationally as well as internationally, and is placed in collections such as Center for Creative Photography, Capital One, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Her book projects, both monographs and collaborative projects, have been acquired by various institutions around the country such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Yale University Library, Duke University Library, Museum of Modern Art, The Getty Research Institute to name a few.

She currently lives in Denton, Texas where she is an Associate Professor of Photography in the Visual Arts Division at Texas Woman’s University.
