Growing up in Massachusetts, Caley Beard (b. 1990) spent as much time in the city as she did in the wilderness, and her passion for photography is rooted in a deep, personal connection with nature. Using color, texture, and light, Caley explores dissolving edges between the human and natural worlds and documents personal struggles with her mental and physical health. Her images probe at existential questions on both the micro and macro scale and are much more felt, rather than preconceived. Her work has been exhibited at Panopticon Gallery, K6 Gallery, and MassArt’s All School Show '21. Caley also specializes in wildlife and underwater photography and is a PADI certified Rescue Diver.
