Brooke is both a practicing artist and educator specializing in photography and video art. Originally from New England, she moved to Oxford, Mississippi in 2005 to begin the Imaging Arts program at the University of Mississippi where she is a Professor of Art specializing in analog, digital, and alternative photographic processes.
As an artist White embraces a cross-disciplinary approach to art-making that combines traditional analog techniques alongside digital strategies. In her most recent work, she includes a broad range of photographic approaches including digital capture and output, photo-encaustic on paper, and historical processes such as wet plate collodion. These approaches, although varied in their technique and visual effect, have been integral to her investigations surrounding memory, place, and the landscape, and the role they play in establishing identity.
White has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, including shows at the Hammer Museum, the Mississippi Museum of Art, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. She was a Senior Fulbright Scholar in India and is a 2019 recipient of the Mississippi Arts Council Individual Artist Grant. Her work has been published in Aint Bad Magazine and the Oxford American and is included in the Do Good Fund collection.
