Biography:

Jay Wickersham will be a graduate with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the Maine College of Art in May 2020. Jay started taking photographs in his junior year of high school, where he immediately fell in love with photography. Following his graduation from high school he started freelancing his talent to friends and family around town, as well as working for a portrait studio and camera shop where he learned the foundation of photography. Following that he started at Maine College of Art, where he has refined his craft immensely. Jay’s most notable work is his series ‘Are We There Yet?’ where he describes a small rural town called Waterford, Maine. He does this through large constructed photographs using strobe lighting, colored gels, and set design. His major focus with this work is to show people who otherwise wouldn’t look twice at a rural town that there is more involved in living in a place like this. In some cases it is a dream, and in other cases it can be a nightmare.
