Marybeth Haas

My creative practice is inspired by a deep love for the Earth and an integral sense of connection with nature’s infinite beauty and I am also influenced by my psychotherapy, meditation and dance practices. I have used a camera to make images since childhood and photography for me is essentially about being present in every moment. My images often explore the spaces between abstract and representational and I enjoy offering viewers an alternative perspective while being passionate about the benefits of seeing beauty in unexpected ways and everyday places. I’m currently experimenting with making images and short videos, which combine ideas and experience of meditation, living image and poetry, while continuing to be inspired by environmental themes, reflecting on the impact of human disconnection from Nature on our planet and ourselves in the form of pollution, ecosystem destruction and increased ill health.
