About Artist

Bremner Benedict

Recent winner of Center Santa Fe’s Project Launch Award, and participant in the Autry Museum of the American West’s, Art & Science Collide Out of Site: Survey Science and the Hidden West, Benedict’s work focuses on overlooked elements in the natural world which have an underestimated influence on our environment. Her recent work Hidden Waters combines art and scientific research, exploring impacts of climate change and overuse on endangered dryland springs in the West. Benedict uses a muted color palette emphasizing springs’ precocious fragility to comment on how the enigmatic presence of beauty often hides a more complex reality of loss. This desire to tell environmental stories began while working as a graphic designer for the Colorado Plateau’s Natural History Museum of Northern Arizona. Her images reside at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Center for Creative Photography, Texas Women's University and Nevada Museum of Art.
