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.   

My 2022 show at 3rd Street Gallery in Philadelphia was 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.  I continue to photograph with that in mind.
