whose work explores the intersection of history and the American landscape. They hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and a Master of Fine Arts in studio art from the University of Connecticut, Storrs. Their research-driven projects, notably The Fortieth Parallel, have been featured in numerous exhibitions at venues such as the Phoenix Art Museum, the RISD Museum, and the Photographic Resource Center, and analyzed in critical essays by Katherine Palmer Albers and Kelly Dennis. Myren’s work is part of the permanent collections at the Library of Congress, the Center for Creative Photography, and Fidelity Investments, and has been featured in The Boston Globe, Afterimage, and View Camera Magazine.

In their practice, Myren utilizes a large-format 8x10 camera as a tool for "slow looking" to document an experience of space and time. Bridging these worlds, they use a hybrid workflow that joins the traditional materiality of film with modern digital printing and high-resolution video and sound. Currently, they are in pre-production for their documentary film Fate of the Elms: Myth, Memory, and the Washington Elm, which explores the biological and mythic legacy of the Washington Elm and its scions. This project continues their long-term investigation into sites that recede from the present yet remain deeply embedded in our collective narrative.

An experienced educator, Myren has taught at the Rhode Island School of Design, Amherst College, and Northeastern University, and served as the Northeast Chapter Chair for the Society for Photographic Education from 2010 to 2016. Their professional background includes roles at the Boston Public Library’s Digitization Lab and Harvard University’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnography. They have been the recipient of grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Cambridge Arts Council, and the Puffin Foundation.
