Born in New Jersey, Tricia Rosenkilde studied at Rutgers University where she received a BFA in painting and Art History in 1983. Her initial studies in painting transformed into an interest in photography when she spent a period of several years traveling and living in Europe, Australia and India. She is currently based in New York City, where she works as a freelance photographer and has taught alternative processes at Parsons School of Design and the Center for Alternative Photography.
The Penumbra Foundation | Center for Alternative Photography will offer an introduction workshop to the Cyanotype Process. Participants of the workshop will be given a piece of paper pre-coated with the Cyanotype synthesizer on which they will place small objects (also supplied) before putting this assembly in sunlight.
