Katelynn M. Rogers was born and raised in Northeast Ohio. Her photographs explore the crossroads of maternal loss, generational trauma, and environmental decay. Inspired by mythologies of oral storytelling and the study of dreams, Rogers’ work questions the way violence remains in the collective unconscious long after its initial impact. Her practice interweaves somatic gestures and raw documentations of landscapes interwoven with violence

She received her BA in Fine Art Photography at Columbia College Chicago in 2022, and is currently finishing MFA in Photography at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work for Letters From Our Mothers and I Can’t Live Here Anymore was shown in two group exhibitions in 2024. Her recent body of work, Covered in Snow, will be shown in two group exhibitions by the summer of 2025. Rogers will have her first solo exhibition for Covered in Snow in July of 2025 at the Summit Art Space in Akron, Ohio.
