HEATHER (HD) PHELPS-LIPTON WAS BORN IN ITHACA + RAISED BY WOLVES

Her photography has been described as a dialogue between curiosity and alienation + an exploration of the drama of the everyday.

Her photographs have been shown and collected in San Diego, LA, NYC + the Catskills. In 2019, HD photographed 50+ people doing deep work in the Catskills for the book, Natural New York: 50 Stewards of the Catskills, created in collaboration with designer David Rainbird, writer Jessie Koester and media specialist Michael Connor.

Her work also includes photo-based pieces that employ pencil, crayon, embroidery, projection and motion.

From 2017-2020, she pioneered the role of the director of communications for the Catskill Center, an environmental non-profit in New York State, fine-tuning their communications platform as they prepared for and celebrated their 50th anniversary.

Heather is based + works in Delhi, NY / NYC
