Rosalba Breazeale received their MFA from the University of New Mexico and their BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Their multidisciplinary art practice encompasses analog, digital and alternative process photographic sculpture, videography, installation, and fiber art with an emphasis on regenerative practice. Breazeale’s identity as a Queer, Jewish, transnational adoptee from Peru forms the foundation from which they create work addressing connection to land, immigration, and environmental justice.
They have exhibited their work internationally including Transmutation with the London Alternative Photography Collective in Margate, England, Seeds in the Soil, a collaboration between Soil Art Gallery in Seattle, WA and Indigo Arts Alliance, Time Change / Change Time II at Biggins Gallery in Auburn, AL and their solo exhibition, Poems From Kay Pacha at Parsonage Gallery in Searsport, Maine.
Breazeale’s interest in regenerative photographic processes granted the opportunity to teach a topics class on the subject at the University of New Mexico and to be published in the Sustainable Darkroom’s 2022 publication, Re Source. They were chosen as one of Strata Gallery’s 2022-23 Emerging Artists in Strata Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, received the David C. Driskell fellowship in 2023 and attended a residency at Hewnoaks in 2024. Breazeale currently resides in Portland, ME while working on a SciArt collaboration with scientist, Jessica Begay, entitled 500 Unheard Legacies, which will be presented at the 2025 Society of Photographic Education conference in Reno, Nevada.
