Bio
Miren Etcheverry spent her early childhood in Paris, and in the Basque Country of her origin. Her passion for photography began early as she traveled extensively throughout her youth and continued to travel throughout her international career.
While the content of her projects vary, Miren is always exploring the role of color. In her current series, “Looking In,” she explores color as it embraces and reflects off objects in window displays. In her recent series, “Color in Motion,” she deliberately moves her camera in different patterns while exposing her images. Other recent work includes “Euskadi,” photographs of the Basque Country, which was reviewed in the blog “About Basque Country” (Euskadi).
Miren’s photographs have been selected recently for exhibition in several juried shows: “Water,” “Winter Wonderland” and “Inspirations” at the Cape Cod Art Association, “Five Elements” and “Love” at the Darkroom Gallery in Vermont, and this year’s Biennial Art Exhibit at the Bedford Public Library. Her work has also been shown in other group exhibits, including the Winter Solstice Show at the Griffin Museum of Photography, ARTBEAT in Provincetown, and South End Open Studios and Sophia’s Cafe in Boston. Many of the images from her “Walk at Fresh Pond” series have been featured in publications and newsletters, including the Friends of Fresh Pond Reservation Newsletter and Annual Reports. Her work is held, internationally, in a number of private collections.
Miren had her first formal training in photography while a student at Stanford University, where she also worked in video production at the pioneering Stanford Instructional Television Network. Recently, she has studied with Keitaro Yoshioka at the New England School of Photography, Alison Shaw at Maine Media Workshops, National Geographic photographer Michael Melford at the Cape Cod Art Association and Karen Davis at the Griffin Museum of Photography.
