Michela  S. Caudill
Maryland Institute , College of Art, Baltimore, Maryland

Michela Caudill received her M.F.A. in photography in May of 1992.  Life after graduation has proven to be exciting and challenging to Michela.  In October of 1992, she was awarded a grant as artist in residence at The Woddbourne Center in Baltimore.  There she has been involved in a lengthy project documenting the lives of the very disturbed children who are in treatment at this residential facility.  This project has been accepted for a major one person exhibit at the Loyola Gallery in 1994.  She hopes that the project will also result in a book about the children of Woodbourne.  In April 1993, Michela had a one person exhibit at the World Trade Center Gallery in Baltimore on her Southern High School  project which is a documentary series on an inner-city high school in Baltimore.  In September 1993, Michela will go to Michigan to the Thunder Bay Conference where she will describe her work as a documentary photographer and discuss the issues that confront a documentary photographer today.  She remains committed to the integrity and validity of documentary photography.
