Yvette Meltzer

Yvette Meltzer enjoyed a variety of art media–drawing, painting, copper enamel work and photography–while growing up in Chicago where she was born and educated. She holds a B.A. in Sociology, an M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education and advanced certificates in Peace Education and Mediation. Her passion for photography continued as she advanced in a fulfilling career in education, conflict resolution and court mediation until ultimately, photography has become her primary activity.

Her conceptual and fine art photography reflect her interest in people, the narratives of their lives, and the environments that shape them. For the past three years she has been an active member of Artists for Action, Chicago, documenting social justice and the resistance movement. She considers herself successful if she has created congruency between her values and her photography, motivating people to think and to feel and/or added pleasure through the aesthetics of her artistry. Her photography has been exhibited in galleries and published in media both across the US and internationally.
