Instructor bio: 

Heather Palecek is an analogue photographer working in the mediums of pinhole photography, lumen printing, cyanotype, and mixed media cameraless photography. She uses these historical photography processes in experimental ways to collaborate with mother nature in her work. She has been working around the theme of relationships and connection for much of her artistic career; Many of her artistic pursuits explore the relationships humans have to mother nature and their impact on the environment. It is her goal as an artist to create artwork that makes people think about their own relationship with mother nature and inspire them to be more mindful.

Palecek has a degree in fine art education and photography from Montclair State University and has been a high school photography teacher in NJ since 2010. She teaches immersive workshops on alternative and historic photography processes and is the leader of the NJ Pinhole Club. Her award-winning work has been exhibited locally and internationally.
