Bronwen Hazlett
Bronwen Hazlett has led a nomadic life. Her dad was a career Navy doctor who took her family from Japan, to the Mid-Atlantic states, and back to Japan again before she went to art school in 1988. She has a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in Photography and an MFA in Photography from the Academy of the Art University. She has had many careers, such as a jewelry designer, graphic designer, advertising agency photographer, stay-at home Mom, high school Design Teacher, visual merchandiser, and adjunct photography professor.
Other than photography, Bronwen Hazlett is accustomed to working with multiple mediums such as textiles, found objects, and collage. Since receiving her first professional camera at 14, she has photographed continuously. Her current work with Blue Van Dykes relates the chemical reactions between Cyanotype and Van Dyke Brown to a philosophical alchemy of Hazlett's life experiences.
"I photograph and create images to explore, make mistakes, make a mess, have fun, learn a bout things, and listen to what they teach me."
