CONSTANCE CONE

I have been a working artist since 1973.  During the first part of my career, I was a fine art photographer using large format cameras, making platinum and palladium prints (two non-silver processes).  In the late ‘80’s, I began working in more traditional media, eventually receiving my MFA in painting and printmaking.

My 25-year retrospective “Flanders Fields” in 2019 was based on the poems of the British "Trench Poets" of World War I. After the show at the Delaware Contemporary, I decided to return to photography for a change of pace.  The COVID lockdown gave me a chance to pause and to remember the pleasure I had always taken making photographs during that first phase of my career.   

In November, 2022 I had a one person show entitled “Flowers…Flowers…Flowers…flowers.”  I thought that after the epidemic and being unable to do so many activities with friends, we needed something of pure beauty in which to revel.

My newest work, in 2024, is a collection of photographs taken during a trip to Spitzbergen, a place of unbelievable magnificence.

I continue to work in pastel, enjoying the opportunity to work in more than one medium.
