Artists

  • Mark Citret: Born in 1949, grew up in San Francisco, and began photographing in 1968. He assisted Ansel Adams at his Yosemite Workshops from 1970–1973 and has taught photography at UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley Extensions. He has been an "Artist in Residence" in Yosemite National Park (2016) and Zion National Park (2019). His work is represented in various museums including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
  • Robel Fessehatzion: A self-taught African American photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work focuses on the natural environment and identity, influenced by his upbringing near the northern Sierra foothills. His series "Crossing The Boundary Maintenance" explores identity through self-portraiture, and "Reclamation" challenges perceptions of who belongs in national parks, particularly Yosemite, by highlighting the experiences of the African Diaspora.
