“Inspiration lives in the broad sweep of the prairie or the unending scenery of the desert, in the play of light and shadow on a single blossom, and in the astonishing variety in the National Parks’ landscapes.” Bo Mackison captures that unseen beauty, that hurried-by landscape and makes it accessible to others, so they can connect with the intimacy of the world as Bo sees and experiences it.
Bo’s style has been influenced by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the Arts and Crafts Movement, and naturalist Aldo Leopold. Wright’s emphasis on bringing nature into daily living spaces, the Arts and Crafts Movement’s inherent simplicity, and Leopold’s respect for nature and the land ethic all act as inspiration. “Translating these concepts into meaningful and accessible art is the legacy I want to achieve,” says Bo.
From her first camera, a Brownie camera she received as an eight-year old, to her first film SLR, a Pentax K-1000 camera and her discovery of the darkroom in her early twenties, to her current all digital set-up, Bo has been seeing life – and the many possibilities of creating art – through a lens. Today she documents her world–nature, architecture, history–with a close-up and personal perspective.
She has been a contributor to WisconsinNative.com, writing and photographing for both the Wandering Wisconsin and Travel Green features on the travel website through 2008. Her photography was also featured in a book on Functional Architecture (2009) and in regional and national architectural magazines and national travel guides.
Bo Mackison takes her Seeded Earth gallery on the road throughout the year, exhibiting her photography on the art festival circuit. Much of her photography is taken in her home state of Wisconsin, in the US Southwest, and in National Parks.
She does art fairs in the Upper Midwest (Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa) during the summer and autumn seasons. She exhibits her art in Arizona (Tucson and Phoenix areas) from February through April.
