Artist Biography
Diane Hemingway is an artist whose practice is deeply rooted in the natural world. She uses photography, writing, and recorded prose to explore the emotional and physical connections between nature and the stories we carry. Her work is a love letter to places, memories, dreams, and family.
Hemingway received her MFA from Maine Media College in Rockport, Maine. She has exhibited nationally and internationally at institutions including the Griffin Museum of Photography, the Danforth Art Museum, Brand Library & Art Center, the Museum of Nature in Spain, Gallery 263, and the Atlanta Photography Group.
Her work has been featured in All About Photo Magazine (Nature Edition) and Aesthetica Magazine (June/July 2025), and she was selected for First Look at Panopticon Gallery (2022).
She is the author of two monographs, The Fire in My Throat (2021) and The Wild Cosmos (2020), a multimedia work combining image, text, and audio. In 2023, Hemingway reimagined The Wild Cosmos as her first handmade artist book, created in memory of her brother. Her photographs have also appeared in curated editions of NORDphotography, and on the album cover of Leçons de Ténèbres – Miserere.
Based in Maine, her practice continues to be shaped by the natural world.
