Mariana Vieira: The States Project: Colorado | LENSCRATCH

I got to know Colorado photographer Mariana Vieira during the Center Forward Exhibition and Photo Camp that Hamidah Glasgow and I jurored and taught at the Center of Fine Art Photography in Colorado a couple of years ago. Mariana was and is passionate about her craft–her various projects are created with painstaking detail and deep consideration. She shared a piece from her, From P to R series, in the exhibition and I was mesmerized by her miniature masterpieces, work that was placed into the world for serendipitous discovery. Because Mariana is a committed photographer and educator with interest in a wide variety approaches to image making, I knew she would make a terrific Colorado States Project Editor. Today, we feature two of her projects and a short interview with the artist.
