Kristin Dillon’s unique photographic artistry highlights both the mundane and the profound of the seasonal landscapes of small-town Maine where most of her photography is taken. Dillon defines her sense of home as one of transience. She grew up in the Twin Cities and in her early twenties relocated to rural Maine where she has lived off-and-on for eight years. The unfamiliar and strange fuel her sense of curiosity and through photography she continues to act as a curious passerby in her own community.

Since age twelve,The Mundane and the Profound: Photographs of Maine by Kristin Dillon Articles Dillon has always carried a camera and often finds her best work spontaneously. She also describes herself as a lifelong student of behavioral patterns and sociology, and views photography as a way to foster a connection with her subject that could just as well last a half hour as it could a lifetime.

Dillon lives in Whitefield, Maine with her two children and husband. Commercially, Dillon specializes in documentary style photography and portraiture.

About the Exhibition

Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition

This August Agora Gallery presents the selected artists of the 2017 Chelsea International Fine Art Competition. As in years past, the work on display is of incredible variety and extraordinary skill. There are precise, spare drawings in the same gallery as maximal, playful sculptures. There are monochrome, graphic paintings that explore repetition hung near hyper realistic still lifes that take inspiration from the classics of centuries past. There are imagined lands and images of human moments that ring with truth. Even two selected landscape photographers defy comparison - some produce stoic, black-and-white views of single trees, while others create expansive vistas in full color. The 2017 jurors' picks share nothing except fearlessness, adroit execution, and unforgettable originality.
