Park Coimbra by Garie Waltzer

Garie Waltzer was born in New York City and received her BFA in painting and MFA in photography from State University of New York/Buffalo. Her early experimental work with color xerography collage has been included in numerous gallery and museum shows nationally, in publications on the genre, and in private, corporate and museum collections. Waltzer’s beautifully crafted carbon pigmented inkjet images explore the convergence of time, place, and populace in their views of public gathering spaces–parks, piazzas, pools, and busy streets–as visual witness to a collective narrative of our time. A recipient of artist grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Ohio Arts Council, she is one of seven photographers recently selected for an Ohio Arts Council Individual Fellowship in Photography. She participated in Light Work’s Artist-in-Residence Program in 2008.
