Stasia Schmidt

Ephemerality

glacier ice, moonlight, fingers of red banded stone slick basalt, golden glow, ancient floes washed ashore rivers rage towards oblivion as she watches, perched on edge longing for sublimation, illumination, an invitation to be a witness, watching the earth as it unfurls or maybe a lover, to feel the gentle caress of time dancing on the wind asking her to surrender to the ephemeral a crack, a crash a gleam of light and she is gone

Photographer

Stasia Schmidt

Stasia Schmidt (b.1978) is an award winning, fine art photographer based in Calgary, Alberta. Her landscapes and portraits show attention to simplicity and form. She is drawn to unexpected surrealism within the natural environment, and throughout the photographic process Stasia works to layer subversive femininity with stark reality.

Self taught, she draws from a deep well of inspiration that includes a love of music, dance, science fiction, and adventure. The medium of photography is her chosen method of exploring creative boundaries and challenging expectations in order to create provocative, vivid, and resonant art.
