Passionately Curious

My name is Kathy Akey. I am a young and optimistic artist currently living in New York City. I shoot primarily film photography, and print entirely in the darkroom, both b&w and color.

I grew up traveling the world, following my archaeologist parents through their travels. My early and prolonged exposure to art and classics fed my passion for the visual arts from a very young age. 

At New York University, I studied a variety of disciplines: psychology, philosophy, linguistics, studio art and art history. The culmination of all of these different subjects has given me a unique insight into the human mind, into creativity and the passion for beauty that lies within all of us. 

My skills are not limited to photography, although it is my primary medium. I have been trained in soldering, painting, drawing, dyeing, printmaking and sculpture.

Here, I collect work by artists from all mediums. Their work catches my eye or inspires me (aka makes me wish I had thought of it first). I also post my own work, and links to both my Facebook page and my website are on the right if you wish to see more.
