This is a juried exhibition. This year's juror is Kimberly Witham.
Kimberly Witham is an artist and educator who currently resides in Glen Gardner, New Jersey. Born and raised in Wakefield, Rhode Island, she earned a BA in Art History from Duke University and an MFA in Photography from the University of Massachusetts–Dartmouth.
Her photographs are deeply influenced by her background in art history and her fascination with the natural world. Since moving to New Jersey in 2006, her work has focused on the relationship between humans and wildlife. Her still life photographs feature roadkill animals, yard sale finds, flowers, and fruit—often grown in her own garden.
Her work has appeared in Color Magazine, PHOTO+, BLOW Photo, The Photo Review, BLINK, Foto, Orion, The New Republic, and Wired (online), and has been used as cover art for books published in the United States and France.
In 2016, National Geographic produced a short film about Kimberly's studio practice titled "Making Roadkill Into Art." She has received numerous awards and grants, including a 2023 Individual Artist Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the Feature Shoot Emerging Photography Award, a fellowship at the Center for Emerging Visual Artists, the Clarence John Laughlin Award, and the Lindback Distinguished Teaching Award.
Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally, and is included in numerous public and private collections. Kimberly is currently a Professor of Photography at Bucks County Community College.
