Erin O’Keefe

Erin O'Keefe, born in 1962 in Bronxville, New York, is a visual artist and architect whose work explores the intersection of architecture and photography. Her art invites viewers to reflect on spatial perception and perspective. In her works, she examines the distortions and misalignments that occur when three-dimensional forms are translated into two-dimensional images. This approach encourages viewers to think more deeply about space and visual perception. O'Keefe received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cornell University and a Master of Architecture from Columbia University. She has taught as a professor of architecture at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Through her practice, she blends architectural discipline with photography, reimagining space and its visual aspects. Her works have been exhibited in prestigious venues across the United States and internationally. Erin O'Keefe earned the NYSCA/NYFA Fellowship in Photography in 2019, gaining significant recognition within the art world.
