Fields grew up in Saint Louis, Missouri where her passion for the arts was birthed. Her academic pursuits led her Atlanta and New York respectively where she received her BA at Spelman College’11 and MFA from the New York Academy of Art ‘13. In her desires to be versed in all aspects of the art world she continued her studies at Claremont Graduate University for a MA in Arts Management as a part of the Sotheby’s Institute of Art, now the Center for Business and Management of the Arts Program.
Well versed in the visual and administrative aspects of the visual arts world, Fields has found herself on both ends of the art arena. She has served students in their quest for art education in admissions at Otis College as well as the production of professional artists editions at Gemini G.E.L. In service of her own creativity, Fields has attended residencies at Taller Portobello in Panama and the Eric Fischl Artist-in-Residence Teaching program in Colora, Maryland, and Westobou Gallery in Augusta,GA. She has also been a recipient of the Richard Kubaik Memorial Curatorial Award from the New York Academy of Art.
As a self-taught photographer, her work photo-based work focuses on observations of others, who we are and how we present. With a Street Art Photography approach, her photographs are nested in the idea:if a tree falls and no one sees does it make a sound?Fields aims to capture the “sound”. The photos focused on quiet, celebratory, beautiful, and fleeting moments in communal and public and spaces. With the help of only natural light she celebrates and capture the place, space, and essence of the people.
Her fine art focuses world and identity creation, and escapism; while looking to spirituality, creation myths, fables & folk tales. Her preferred mediums are drawing and printmaking but experimentation with installation and materiality are important growing aspects of her work.
Fields is also an aspiring Children’s Book Author/Illustrator. She currently lives and works in Augusta, Georgia and is not presently represented by an agent or gallery.
