BIOGRAPHY
Jason DeMarte was born in Louisiana in 1973 but spent most of his childhood in Colorado. Growing in Colorado's natural beauty had a profound effect on Jason, an effect that is still evident in his work to this day.
While he has been making pictures since he was 11 years old, Jason was originally interested in biological sciences. After attending school pursuing a degree in science, Jason decided he could investigate his interests in the natural world better with Photography.
Jason DeMarte is now an established artist, currently teaching photography at the University of New Mexico. He received his B.F.A. in Photography from Colorado State University and then his M.F.A. in Photography from the University of Oregon. Previous to teaching in Mississippi, Jason taught photography for three years at Zayed University, an all Muslim women's University in the United Arab Emirates. Working overseas allowed Jason to travel to over a dozen countries, strengthening the insightful and unique perspective he works from.
Jason DeMarte work has been exhibited in galleries including the Chelsea Galleria in Miami, Pacific Northwest Center for Photography in Portland OR. New Life Gallery in Berlin Germany, University of the Art Gallery in Philadelphia, Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography in L.A. Los Angeles Center for Digital Art and the Total Arts Gallery in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. His work has also appeared in journals and publications including Photography Now and Photo Review.
