I would like to find more information on Wilda Gerideau-Squires' journey to being apart of so many different associations. I would also like to find information about some of her most well known artworks along with some pictures of those artworks. I want to find other national and international awards she has received other than the ones already listed.
After working 25 years as a corporate executive, Wilda Gerideau-Squires began her journey in photography. She uses both film and digital media to capture "human-interest and landscape images"[1]. Recently her focus has transitioned into the abstract genre. Gerideau-Squires explains, "My abstract compositions are developed around common elements such as fabric and glass, ultimately evolving into what for me are evocative images they continually remind me that, no matter how mundane or simple, if we take the time to look, there is in everything an extraordinary element waiting to be discovered and appreciated. I find viewers appreciate the abstract nature of my work because it does encourage them to insinuate their own "voices" into my images, thus allowing them to experience a more personal connection with them.” [2]
The Danforth Art Museum, the Griffin Museum of Photography and the Massachusetts State House in Boston are just some of the places her works have been exhibited in. Not only has her work been shown in museums,but they have been featured in magazines including, the Merrimack Valley Magazine, Persimmon Tree Magazine, as well as ARTisSpectrum Magazine. In 2007, Gerideau Squires was one out of 75 women internationally to be honored for their portraitures by Women In Photography International.
