Portrait by David Heald

Midge is an artist currently based in Metro Detroit, MI. Her studio practices in photography and ceramic sculpture are intertwined resulting in installations of sculptures and prints. Her work explores elements of light, time, and surface as both material and subject. She has an MFA in ceramics from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design. Much of her work has been shaped by her experience living in Italy. In 2017, she was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in photography based in Sicily where the island’s ancient cultures and bodily landscapes deeply influenced her way of seeing. Her work has been exhibited internationally. Her ongoing collaboration with artist Ben K. Voss titled IMPRINTS, includes two books published by Chateau International, UK. She is represented in Italy by Francesco Pantaleone Arte Contemporanea in Palermo.

Her solo exhibitions include: In the Painting Room at the Milton Resnick and Pat Passloff Foundation in New York (2021), Scirocco at the Italian Consulate in New York (2020), and Passages at Francesco Pantaleone Arte Contemporanea Gallery in Palermo (2019).
