Meg Griffiths and Frances Jakubek: Perennial Impressions

Posted on September 11, 2025

The Griffin museum is pleased to present the works of Meg Griffiths and Frances Jakubek. Practicing artists and co-founders of A Yellow Rose Project, Meg Griffiths and Frances Jakubek have combined their work to create a special conversation about photography, process and connection.

After uplifting the work of 105 women in the Yellow Rose Project, it was time to showcase the work of the creative women who made space for others.

Perennial Impressions brings together two artists exploring the cycles of growth, preservation, and legacy through photography.

Selections from Frances Jakubek’s Archive of the Ego turn the lens inward, creating intimate self-portraits that respond to personal events and the long history of photographic self-study. Her work reflects on ownership, representation, and the shifting power of the body, which was once defined by external validation and later rooted in inner potency and renewal.

Meg Griffiths, drawing inspiration from Anna Atkins and the early history of women in photography, uses cyanotypes to impress plants onto paper. Her process in her newest body of work Bluest Flos echoes both scientific obsession and poetic preservation, creating a lineage of images that serve as an archive of place, body, and time.

Their works speak to the kinship between the natural world and the female body, to creation and gestation, and to the fleeting yet potent impressions we leave, whether flower or human, ephemeral or enduring.

Vision(ary) – People of Chelsea | Darlene DeVita & Sarah Putnam

Posted on May 19, 2025

About the People of Chelsea project –

The People of Chelsea Project was born from a deep love of the city of Chelsea, for its rich culture, vibrant beauty, and resilient community. Just across the harbor and only a bridge away from Boston, yet culturally distinct from its larger metropolitan neighbor, Chelsea is too often overlooked.
This project features and celebrates its residents, businesses, and institutions – from activists to entrepreneurs, from city officials to students, from old timers to newcomers. The People of Chelsea project is a positive mirror to the community and an homage to those who make the city work every day, across ages, experiences, and languages. Particularly during the mire of COVID-19, the project was a meaningful departure from the disaster-oriented media narratives about Chelsea, and each showing of this work became a source of civic pride. Through strong local collaborations, we have highlighted a community that is so much more than its pandemic losses: a Chelsea that is resilient, creative, courageous and just.
As the project has reached new audiences in and beyond Chelsea, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. People have been delighted to see their own images and stories as well as those of their friends, family, and neighbors. That momentum continues to grow as the project evolves. There are many more stories to be shared and people to be made visible.

About Darlene DeVita and Sarah Putnam –

Darlene DeVita has been a professional photographer for 30 years, and a resident of Chelsea, MA for two decades. She began the People of Chelsea Project in 2016. Her early career as one of the pre-eminent wedding photographers in the Boston area fine-tuned her skills photographing people, and this, combined with her innate love of community, is evident in the passion she brings to the People of Chelsea Project. More recently, Dar’s professional photography illuminates the work of local non-profits, schools, and corporations. Her clients have included The Boston Foundation, Athenahealth, La Colaborativa, Vinfen, MAB Community Services, Wentworth Institute of Technology, among others.

Sarah Putnam joined Darlene DeVita on the People of Chelsea Project in 2018, primarily to help in Spanish-speaking situations, conducting and editing interviews, and collaborating on the photographs by providing another set of eyes. Sarah has been in her own right a writer and freelance photographer for national publications and organizations for decades. Her writing has ranged from feature stories to interviews to reviews, her photographs have appeared in magazines and books, been included in both group and solo exhibitions, and she has produced multimedia pieces for the web. She was a Bunting Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute.

The Griffin @ Lafayette City Center Passageway is located at 2 Ave de Lafayette in Downtown Crossing, Boston. The passageway connects Macy’s, the Lafayette Tower offices and the Hyatt Regency, Boston. For more information please contact the museum at 781.729.1158

Frank Siteman | Our Town

Posted on May 19, 2025

The Griffin is pleased to showcase the works of Frank Siteman as part of our summer public art project, Vision(ary). Frank Siteman is a resident and chronicler of life in Winchester. His images soar above the streets to capture the light, movement and changes of the town. We are so grateful to partner with the Jenks Center of Winchester to bring this exhibition to the community.

About Frank Siteman –

Frank Siteman was born in St. Louis in 1947. He attended Tufts University, where he majored in chemistry. Already immersed in photography, he shot portraits of the entire college faculty in exchange for his tuition. He soon received an assignment to photograph an annual report for a Boston area rehab hospital, and taught in a Boston youth project. Following his graduation from Tufts, where he launched the photography department through the Experimental College, he began teaching at the Roxbury Latin School, the Orson Welles Film School, Simmons College, and the Art Institute of Boston. During this time, he discovered the world of stock photography. Over the next several decades, he worked steadily shooting stock and completing commercial assignments, shooting the world while traveling. His photographs found their way into agencies, which sold them for a myriad of uses in magazines, advertising, annual reports, multi-media shows and textbooks. He continues to photograph the world and the people around him, living alternately in Winchester, MA and the White Mountains of NH.

The Griffin @ The Jenks Center is located at 109 Skillings Road in Winchester. Hours are Monday through Friday from 9am to 4pm, Saturdays 8.30am to 2.30pm and closed on Sunday.

Anastasia Sierra | Bittersweet

Posted on May 19, 2025

The Griffin Museum is pleased to present the works of Anastasia Sierra as part of our summer exhibition Vision(ary). Anastasia Sierra’s lens tenderly showcases the profound connection between mother and child. Her images capture the nurturing touch and the unbreakable threads of love that bind them. Through luminous colors and intimate compositions, Sierra unveils the beauty and vulnerability inherent in maternal bonds. Each photograph explores the connection the two share, and the everyday moments of motherhood. Her images serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring power and artistry of this fundamental human relationship, etching fleeting moments into timeless expressions of affection.

About Bittersweet –

“Bittersweet” is an ongoing body of work about the conflicting emotions of motherhood, where love and joy live next to the feelings of frustration, guilt and exhaustion.

I collaborate with my young son to recreate moments of tenderness and tension. Together, we make a colorful and mysterious world of our own, using light and shadow as a metaphor, with our lives bright and colorful on the outside and piles of laundry, dirty dishes and some of the darker feelings obscured by the shadows.

I make these images to remember his chubby thighs and what it’s like to touch his skin and feel the weight of his body while I can still carry him. I photograph our love and nightmares, with a superstitious hope that my fears won’t materialize if I spell them out in my photographs.

About Anastasia Sierra –

I am a portrait and fine art photographer based in Cambridge, MA.

My work explores the themes of motherhood, womanhood, and the body from a feminist perspective. Inspired by dreams and the unseen, I construct photographs that portray internal tensions – the conflicting emotions of motherhood, the push and pull between the need for connection, and the desire for independence.

I use photography to gain a better understanding of my own experiences, and find a deeper connection with people and places I photograph, employing light and color to create vivid images that inhabit the space between the real and the imaginary.

My work has been exhibited in the US and internationally, most recent exhibitions include Kathryn Schulz Gallery in Cambridge, MA, the Photographic Resource Center, the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA, Vermont Center of Photography, and Soho Gallery in New York.

I have a BA in Linguistics and am currently attending the Photography MFA program at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, expected to graduate in 2026.

Presenting photographs of the Basin Head sand dune system along the Northumberland Strait in Canada, Anna Leigh Clem infuses her eerie landscape with somber drama. Toning her works with foraged botanicals, she creates a tangible connection between each print and the landscape that inspired it.

Brett Day Windham’s delicate watercolor overlays illuminate the unseen rhythms of marine life, rendering fan corals as intricate, arterial compositions that underscore the interconnectedness of all life and consciousness.

Offering an unobstructed glimpse into the unseen, Bryan Whitney unveils the skeletal elegance of flowers through striking cyanotype x-rays. These luminous blueprints expose the intricate structure and delicate beauty inherent in botanical forms.

Cynthia Katz constructs fragmented cyanotypes arranging prints on rectangular grids and diptychs populated by small yet impactful details. The works are a creative approach to abstraction and evoke the elusive nature of memory and dreams.

Julia Whitney Barnes creates lavish and meticulously detailed works on paper, blending watercolor, gouache, ink, and cyanotype. Her pieces, reminiscent of fairy tale sights and sacred geometry, highlight the inherent beauty of our world.

Sally Chapman‘s rhythmic still life compositions capture the diverse objects of our everyday surroundings, creating a unique taxonomy of the organic with the manufactured. Delicate, drawing-like gestures on pastel further swirl through her observations.

An eclectic representation of cyanotype-making, the artists featured in Elemental Blues explore ideas of visibility and transformation, utilizing cyanotype to reinterpret and reimagine natural and everyday subjects through their techniques.

Andrea Zampitella | In the Blink of an Eye

Posted on January 30, 2025

I use photography as a means of connection. I use it to look at my life deeply. When I had my two children, I had a new purpose but felt disconnected from my identity. I dusted off my old Canon DSLR and turned my lens towards my growing family. I started to capture the complexities of childhood and document the messy and tender moments of parenthood. My camera gave me a lens and a voice. I try to uncover beauty in the mundane, examine the agony of growing up,and the pure and simple joys of childhood. Through photography I show the relationship between sisters, the shifting tensions and evolving bond between partners and the intensity of parenthood. I take photos of my family to record and to preserve these fleeting moments as honestly as I can.

Nick Ortoleva | to you, from seoul

Posted on January 23, 2025

The Griffin Museum is excited to present an exhibition by Nick Ortoleva, featuring photographs exploring identity, memory, place and family ties. This exhibition is located at our satellite location Griffin @ WinCam, located in Winchester through June 29, 2025.

It’s been 22 years since I’ve been in Korea. It’s been 22 years since I’ve taken a breath of this hot humid air. It’s been 22 years since I’ve heard the bustle of the busy city streets filled with vendors and buses and cars whizzing by. I don’t remember my time here, but know that I was here for three months before I boarded a plane leaving Incheon International Airport to Logan Airport in Boston.

I look to the photographs Mom took on her trip, to get Thomas, my younger brother, from her trip here 18 years ago. I use her fading, 4×6″ prints on some old drug store RC paper

as these points of reference as I continue to map out the city for myself. Amongst trying to sort out the rush of feelings in the place I was born, I continue to walk, landmark to landmark. As I stomp through the late summer heat, I stop to make notes and photograph, to expand the visual map of the city I have set out to make. I follow an itinerary my map guides me through, stopping into markets and parks to continue to familiarize myself with new sights and smells.

As a note taker, image maker, and writer, I sift and reflect on my experience through notes I’ve jotted down and personal essays, to keep record of my own story and write my piece. My place of origin is a piece of me that I had little information on. Something that I was certain about is that in returning to Seoul to learn about, observe, and understand the contemporary landscape would allow me to continue to discover what place can hold for the individual.

Nick Ortoleva (b. Seoul, Korea) grew up in Central Massachusetts and currently resides in Boston. He received a BFA in Photography from MassArt (24’).
Ortoleva uses the camera to shape a fragmented narrative that often reflects on personal experiences and relationships with the communities where he has found kinship. He frequently revisits stories passed down through family, as he continues to write a memoir of his own; warping perception, color, and light. In his most recent work, he explores family archives and returns to Seoul for the first time meditating on what place can hold for the individual, as a means to discover Oneself.

The Griffin @ WinCam is located at 22 Swanton Street in Winchester at WinCam (Winchester Community Access and Media) Hours of opening – 11am to 7pm Monday thru Thursday / 11am to 5pm Friday. Closed on Weekends.

Jeff Larason & Lynn Saville | Solitude in Cities

Posted on November 27, 2024

Jeff Larason’s Boston and Lynn Saville’s New York is a captivating exploration of quiet moments within two bustling urban environments.
This exhibition combines the powerful and evocative urban imagery of Boston photographer Jeff Larason and New York City photographer Lynn Saville. Both artists delve deep into the visual language of cities, capturing moments of solitude and reflection that are often overshadowed by the energy and chaos of urban life. Larason and Saville reveal a serene, reflective, and unexpectedly beautiful side of city life through their unique lenses.

Jeff Larason presents a deeply personal perspective of Boston, showcasing its familiar landmarks and lesser-known corners in a way that encourages the viewer to pause and appreciate the city’s quiet, contemplative moments. His work, often framed by strong architectural lines and vibrant tones, captures a timeless quality of the city’s urban life.

Lynn Saville, a widely renowned photographer known for her mastery of light and shadow, brings her iconic images of New York City into the spotlight. Her photographs of New York explore the intersection of light and the urban environment, often highlighting deserted streets and empty spaces that evoke a sense of tranquility amidst the towering skyscrapers and vibrant energy of the metropolis.
