Sheila newbery
Sheila is a Bay Area photographer who works with traditional printing techniques, including the platinum palladium method, in her northern California studio. Los Caprichos evolved from a project she presented at a book-making workshop organized by David Chickey (Radius Books), Alex Webb (Magnum) and Rebecca Norris Webb in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2013. Early caprichos from this series were first exhibited in the 12th Annual Joyce Elaine Grant Photography Exhibition (2013), juried by curator Sarah Kennel (High Museum of Art), and Con(Text) (2015), juried by Tim Clark, founder and editor of 1000 Words Photography Magazine (UK). Previous photography projects have included Ordinary Dancers, shot in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (2008) and Ohio Woods, photographs of an evening’s snowfall taken during a cross-country journey by train (2013).
