Tammy Mercure
Contemporary Photography
(IA, 1976 - )
Based in Violet, just outside of New Orleans, photographer Tammy Mercure often works in book form and creates images that concern the rites and rituals of the American South, and the relationship one has to the land. In 2012, Mercure was named one of the “100 under 100: The New Superstars of Southern Art” by Oxford American magazine. A member of the artist collective Antenna in New Orleans, she exhibits and publishes her work internationally, including displays at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art in Charleston, the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, among others. She holds a BA from Columbia College Chicago and an MFA from East Tennessee State University.
