| Amy Blakemore lives and works in Houston, and has been working with an idiosyncratic, low-tech camera for twenty years. Her deceptively simple images of friends, local landscapes and foliage, reflect her interest in capturing fleeting aspects of personality, memory and other psychological aspects of a scene. Her work has been exhibited widely in Texas and she is included in the photography collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Blakemore was also invited to participate in the 2005 Pingyao International Festival for Photography in Pangyao, P.R. China and the 2006 Whitney Biennial "Day for Night" curated by Chrissie Iles and Philippe Vergne. Most recently, Blakemore's work has been included in "Silver", Houston Center for Photography's 25th Anniversary exhibition.
Blakemore was born in Tulsa, OK in 1958, received a BS/BA in Psychology from Drury College, Missouri and an MFA in Photography from UT Austin.
