Caitlin Garvey


About the Artist
Caitlin Garvey is a Virginia-based photographer whose work explores the themes of identity and relationship. Drawing inspiration from the Shenandoah Valley where she resides, her art often utilizees nature as a metaphor to explore the concepts of self and belonging, while in relationship with one's community and environment.
Glory to Glory: Beauty in Every Bloom is a celebration of life's unfolding -- a series of intimate flower portraits capturing the grace, resilience, and luminous beauty found in every moment of growth.
Artist Statement
My work speaks to what it means to be human and humanity's role in and to the world around it. We all seek to be at home in ourselves and desire a sense of belonging amidst our community and environment. My art often focuses on nature as a means to explore these concepts, as the natural world well illustrates that what first seems simple is often not simple at all. My art ranges from sweeing vistas to delicate blossoms and acknowledges the unsettled awkwardness of what it means to be human, desiring to be grounded in ourselves while striving for something beyond.
