MARIA ISABEL LEBLANC

María Isabel LeBlanc (1969) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. LeBlanc is a first-generation American and daughter to Colombian and Cuban parents. Her practice investigates her relationship with the landscape, both as a documentarian and as a humanist. Her projects concentrate on a specific geographical region of California's Central Coast, where the land provides markers of time and history. She works with the large and medium analog process, working as sole craftsman from the moment the negative is exposed to the creation of the final silver gelatin print.
