Kristine Hinrichs is a Milwaukee, Wisconsin based photographer. She lives in downtown and focuses on the urban environment, an outgrowth of her training and interest in urban planning. She has photographed the urban landscape every day for more than thirteen years, posting the results to social media - not missing a day. She is always looking for the unusual, the "out of place", and open to images that find her. She generally drives the city before dawn when it is quiet and she feels like she is alone with the city.
Her work has been featured in several juried exhibitions – the Racine Art Museum’s biannual Wisconsin Photography 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024, Racine Art Museum triennial “Racine and Vicinity Show 2021 & 2024 All Media Juried Competition”, Plymouth Art Center “Alive in the Arts” in 2020, 2021, 2022 (1st Place), 2023 and 2024 (award of Merit), several Praxis Gallery exhibitions, CoPA Milwaukee, Art Bar Milwaukee 2019, 2021, and 2022 (Best of Show 2019), Appleton’s Trout Museum SECURA “Fine Arts Exhibition” in 2020 and 2021, two images commissioned for the Trout Museum "Groundbreaking", Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art Exhibitour 2022 (3rd place), Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art Annual National Juried Exhibition 2023 Honorable Mention, White Bear Center for the Arts Northern Lights Juried Exhibition 2022, 2023 (Juror's Choice), and 2024 (Best of Show), Midwest Photography Center “Emerge 2021”, Museum of Wisconsin Art (2nd place 2024 Member exhibition), Artless Bastard, International Photography Hall of Fame, and many others.
Notably she has recently expanded the presentation of her work to printing her images on silk to provide a multidimensional effect. These images are most often displayed in a group of three panels, suspended on clear rods and hung on a clear bracket. They move in the lightest breeze and provide a three-dimensional effect. The use of silk, an ancient and living fabric, provides a counterpoint to the technology behind her digital photography. She also presents her silk work as hand-quilted photographs and as woven silk pieces.
She is a member of the Milwaukee Coalition of Photographic Arts (CoPA), Photo Midwest, the Milwaukee Artist Resource Network (MARN), Wisconsin Visual Artists, and several other arts-related organizations.
