Corryn Birkeland is a Midwest-based visual artist whose fine art photography has been exhibited regionally and nationally. As a current student at The University of Nebraska - Lincoln, her creative process utilizes imagery as a vehicle for exploration and advocacy to document the intricacies of underrepresented female experiences.


With an educational background in architecture, the lens-based work she creates is a visual extension of her enduring passion for historic preservation. The engaging physicality of pre-digital materials lends to Birkeland's hands-on approach with analog/experimental processes. 


Prominent themes explored within her work include the ebb and flow of feminine identity, human condition as it relates to nature, and the effect of time on physical space.
