Artist Bio

Larry Smukler headshot

Larry Smukler is a New Hampshire based artist who received his MFA from Maine Media College after he retired from the judiciary. Smukler’s initial work was in the street, but in response to his wish to be less of an observer, he turned to the internal. His exhibition, Immediate Whole, was recognized for evoking feelings of loss, longing and the passing of time. Smukler’s photographs transform ordinary moments into expressions of mystery.

Named as a finalist in the LensCulture Exposure award, Smukler’s work has been exhibited at the Ten by Ten exhibition at the FotoFest Biennial, the Griffin Museum of Photography, the Center for Photographic Art, Cove Street Arts, the Maine Media Gallery, the A Smith Gallery, the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery and online at the PhotoPlace Gallery. Smukler’s work has also been featured in several publications, including Malde and Ware’s Platinotype, Pictura Galley’s Curious Photo Blog, FLOAT Magazine, and the Maine Museum of Photographic Arts Antidote.
