Artist Statement
My galleries carry the imprint of every place I've called home.
Through my lens, I pause what time would erase. The people never age. The bubble never bursts. The water drop never falls.
Liminal moves you through passageways both seen and felt.
Head Space captures the faces we cherish: family, friends, and those who anchor us.
Les Petites Choses turns your attention to the fleeting: the small, the strange, and the intricate.
About Sheila Guevin
Sheila White Guevin is a conceptual fine art photographer based in the D.C. metro area, known for work that explores memory, transition, and place. Her images have been exhibited and published nationally.
Born in a small Pennsylvania paper mill town. Sheila has a BS in Radio and Television with a minor in Advertising from Murray State University. She's called many places home living in PA, KY, CT, DC, NV, VA, TX, AL, HI, and CO—before finally settling in Maryland. This long and winding road left her with a complex understanding of what it means to “go home.”
Her current project, Cradle to Grave, returns to her hometown roots—a place where the town and the mill are inextricably bound.
Sheila founded Photo Society MD/VA/DC, an active photography community with pages on Photo Society Facebook and Photo Society MD/VA/DC Meetup
She serves on the board of directors for the Maryland Photography Alliance and is a member of the Maryland Federation of Art
Beyond her concept-driven photographic work, Sheila mentors emerging photographers and teaches a broad range of topics including lighting, composition, portrait, macro, event, editing, and the business of photography.
Sheila leads immersive workshops with curated visual labs and on-location photo shoots designed to deepen both technical skill and artistic vision. Many of her students have gone on to successfully launch their own careers.
10% of her session fees are donated to either the Anne Arundel Public Library or to So Others Might Eat, an organization that feeds and supports the underserved in Washington, D.C.
Sheila shares her life with her husband, Paul, and their dog Kona - charmingly British, unapologetically coquin.
