Artist Bio: Judith Preston is a photographer who grew up in the wilds of New England and now can hardly believe she lives in Southern California. Recently retired, she spends her days catering to her 8-yr old rescue dog, Riley (“I’ll give you a cookie if you will please stop howling”), practicing backing up into the driveway (“is it straight now??”), dog-watching (“did you see the size of that Husky’s feet?!”), working on improving her posture, being outdoors (at the beach, the mountains, the desert), and, above all else, making photographs. About her photography, Judith says she is interested in low-tech approaches to image-making such as the Holga plastic camera, as well as black & white and infrared film, and alternative processes. Judith received her BFA in English at Keene State College in New Hampshire and her MFA in Photography at Ohio University, Athens. Until her retirement, she taught darkroom and digital photography at several local community colleges.
