Samantha Metzner
Samantha is an artist and fine art photographer based in Moab, UT. She specializes in historic and alternative printing processes and is adept at working across photographic mediums, including film and digital. Much of her landscape work is done through historic photographic printmaking processes and then finished by hand with watercolors, echoing the soft and dreamlike atmosphere present within the desert landscapes. A selection of prints are also shot on 35 mm film, portraying the desert colors as they magically, and naturally are. Samantha also recently completed a 7 month artist residency with the Southeast Utah group of parks including Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Hovenweep, and Natural Bridges National Monuments. She is the second photographer ever to be selected.
