Claudia Rippee
As an avid traveler, many of her photographs are taken in urban settings and are focused on the rhythm of life in the streets and on the multi-layered art applied to urban street canvases. She looks for and seeks out patterns and meaning found on urban walls that have become a random collaboration of unknown authors and by selective framing and cropping creates another layer of meaning.
In addition to her focus on street photography Claudia works with a pinhole camera, the handmade cyanotype process, and makes wet plate tintypes. She taught color photography at the New Hampshire Institute of Art from 2002-2012 and has been a member of the New Hampshire Art Association since 1998. She is a member of the Silver Sunbeam Studio located at the historic Kimball Jenkins Estate in Concord, NH where she focuses on creating wet plate still life images. In 2022 Claudia joined the Board of the New Hampshire Art Association.
