Maura Kendrick:
Mixed media lets me combine my love for the simplicity of black and white photography with the complexity and layers of painting. Everyday moments and places provide the starting point-people at work or relaxing, doorways and walls, old store signs, even traffic. I carry my camera everywhere. Using photographic silk screen techniques, I incorporate photographic images in a range of colors, layering to add vitality and interest. My goal is to capture the texture of the place-the people, images, colors and pace of life that make that locale unique. I work on wood, using acrylic silkscreen prints and media transfer and finish each piece with resin.
Featured in more than 15 national juried shows over the past two years, my cowboy series features images I photographed at a Montana ranch run by three generations of the same family. My current "work in progress" for SF Open Studios is a series called "Monumental" featuring larger than life icons from some of the world's greatest cities.
I grew up in a family of eight children in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I live today. After earning my BA in Classical Studies/Latin from Stanford University, I moved to Rome where my love of black and white street photography blossomed more than 20 years ago. I share C! Studio in Potrero Hill will my sister Christine Kendrick and sell black and white photographs under the moniker Two Sisters Photography with my sister Kathleen Kendrick.
