In the tradition of many Old World masterpieces, photographer Beth Parin creates remarkable narratives through an orchestra of visual cues and aloof protagonists. Her crisp, sweeping compositions treat indoor and outdoor scenes alike, guiding the viewer to examine details and characters amidst open planes with distant horizons or within bright, spacious rooms. Parin’s lasting appeal is in her ability to tell stories through her work, each photograph presents an unusual scene or event, sometimes in a haunting surrealist mode, while other pieces remain soothing and pastoral.

Parin has had a long history of travel and engagement with various cultures, which she intends to share with her audience. “Travel has given me the gift of seeing the world, self-confidence, and maturity,” Parin states.  She is currently working on photographic projects featuring the cultures of Belize and Egypt. As the art world begins to recognize the enduring importance of her work, Parin’s photographs have been shown in exhibition in Chicago, New Zealand, and New York.
