Brooke White
Brooke White lives in Oxford, Mississippi, where she is Professor of Art, Associate Chair, and Head of Imaging Arts at the University of Mississippi. White's artistic practice is characterized by a cross-disciplinary approach to image-making, incorporating both analog and digital photographic techniques, experimental processes, digital video, and bookmaking. For over two decades, her work has explored themes such as the landscape, nature, and human connection to place.
