Artist Bio: Mitch Eckert is a one-eyed photographer. The medium of photography chose him, and it made perfect sense – one eye and one lens play well together. His work has received many accolades and has been exhibited nationally and internationally and appearing in a variety of publications. After receiving his B.F.A. in photography and sculpture from Indiana University he completed an M.F.A. from Ohio University focusing on photography and printmaking. For Mitch, the choice of photographic equipment, process and materials need to have a good marriage with concept and content. His exploration in the genre of still life has been ongoing for more than 25 years. His work is held in the collections of 21c. Museum, Butler Institute of American Art, and corporate and private collections. He currently lives and works in Louisville Kentucky where he is an Associate Professor of Art teaching all things photographic.
