Northern Sea Oats

Northern Sea Oats

Carol Macomber was born in 1938, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. She received her B.S. from Lawrence College, Appleton, Wisconsin, in 1960. Carol does black-and-white photography and alternative processes and is deeply concerned about nature. Her work is shown in the Artisan's Gallery in Iowa City, BlueStem Gallery in Parkersburg, Campbell-Steele Gallery in Marion, and Henry W. Myrtle Gallery in Cedar Falls.

Carol has this to say about her work," My background includes work in biology and photography. The cyanotype photograms that I make involve local botany and simple photochemistry. The antique technology lends a degree of authenticity that I find lacking in modern technologies and presents a dramatic way of seeing some remnants of the past."
