Nowhere, Nevada

Photographs by Kara Hetrick · Exhibit runs from Mar 26 – May 6

ARTIST STATEMENT:

I have fallen in love with the high desert and love driving around central Nevada in particular. It’s a special place that I partly hope remains a pretty well-kept secret, but it’s hard not to share its calm, open beauty. Trying to capture a little bit of it with film photography brings me back to sleeping in the back of a truck at night, learning new constellations, smelling sagebrush, and hearing coyotes howl back and forth across the valley. These photos are some of my favorite parts of Nevada and Utah.

ARTIST BIO:

I wish I were a painter like Maynard Dixon, Frank Serrano, or local artist G. Russell Case, and so many more, but instead I have a medium format film camera. I don’t have any formal education in art or photography, I just enjoy it and it gives me an excuse to go out to places that make me feel at home in the world.
