Editha Mesina: Panoramas and Portraits

June 18-July 22

Reception: July 5th, 5-7 PM

The quiet Eastern sensitivity of Mesina’s photographs is particularly notable in works selected in this current exhibition. Mesina was born in the Philippines and moved to the U.S. with her parents at a young  age. She went on to study studio art at NYU, where she herself is now a professors of photography, in the Tisch School of the Art. Mesina, along with her husband David Sundberg, also a photographer, and their two grown children, live both downstate, and for 30 years, in a church they have renovated into a home in North Harpersfield.

It is noteworthy that home, and her family as a whole, loom large in her photography. Mesina has shown her particularly notable portrait-based images widely, has received a NYFA  fellowship, and has published work on a variety of themes including ones with significant political overtones. A dramatic oversized coffee table book of her striking panoramas is due for publication and release shortly.
