Podcast appearances and mentions of melissa spitz

Coming up next is Melissa Spitz, a photographer / artist living in New York. Melissa is the recipient of Magnum's Inge Morath Award (2018), recognizing a female photographer under the age of 30 and in 2017 she was named Instagram Photographer by TIME Magazine.I landed on Melissa's project: You Have Nothing to Worry About, where she walks us through her childhood life with pictures of her mentally ill mother. To me, this project felt beautiful, raw, disturbing and I thought it would be interesting to switch perspective and get the child's point of view. So in this episode, Melissa will tell us how she lived her childhood with a mentally ill mother and how she looks back on it today. I hope you enjoy this episode

A Lens Into The Personal... As SCAD prepares for deFINE ART, three days of celebrating the modern masters of visual art, we catch up with a previous deFINE ART guest: celebrated photographer and SCAD alumna, Melissa Spitz. Spitz hit the national stage with her eye opening photography series, "You Have Nothing to Worry About." The photo-scape tells the story of Spitz's mother as she navigates mental illness. Through her exhibitions and Instagram, Spitz touches thousands with similar life circumstances and develops the grounds for honest conversations. TIME Magazine honored Spitz as their 2017 Instagram Photographer of the Year in recognition of her brave artistic expression. In this episode, Paula Wallace celebrates Spitz's successes, delves into the vulnerable nature of her work, and reminds all SCAD alumni that they're never far from the hive.
