Far Reaching Consequences (2022) Photography by Gwendolyn Roth

BIOGRAPHY

Award-winning Michigan photographer Gwendolyn Roth has exhibited extensively locally and internationally. She is primarily self-taught.  

Gwendolyn grew up in an art-inspired family, learning the basic principles of photography from her father and discovering how to see the real world from her mother. Gwendolyn attended Michigan State University, earning her undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture, subsequently practicing in that design field.  Marriage and the arrival of her first child rekindled her passion for photography as she created a vast collection of family photos.  Her husband's career took them to Europe for several years, where she amassed thousands more photographs of her family's time there - a self-imposed travel photography program, with husband and now two babies in tow! These experiences taught Gwendolyn to see and compose quickly.

Ultimately fulfilling her roles as wife and mother-of-three, photography answered Gwendolyn’s most vexing question ever: now what? She jumped back into photography, embracing the enlightening transition from film to digital and never looking back.   

Gwendolyn’s work emphasizes fine art and healing art, but she will photograph anything that catches her eye. Uplifting and encouraging perspectives of everyday life inspire her creativity.

Total immersion in photography defines Gwendolyn’s role as an artist as she explores an endless evolution of technique and subject. She is especially fond of creating composites and digital abstracts to express her emotions as she discovers wonderment and joy with her camera.   

She looks forward to a future filled with photography.
