DocuFlorida II: Projections and Prints with featured artist, Noelle McCleaf included an open call with digital submissions projected with photographs by Florida-based photographer, Noelle McCleaf. The exhibition addressed the environment in rural and urban landscapes, and may offer an interpretive lens focused on socio-cultural and socio-spatial conditions of natural and built environments of our larger Southeastern U.S. region, an area deeply informed by river systems, gulf waters, and their associated industries and economic enterprises. DocuFlorida began in 2017 as an annual exhibition of projected photographic images focused on the current environment and landscapes of Florida, the Gulf Coast, and the Southeast Region of the U.S. It is intended as a site-specific iteration of Documerica, the photographic documentary project that was sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency in the 1970s. The exhibition was on view at the T.T. Wentworth, Jr. Florida State Museum from November 16, 2018 through May 17, 2019 and is in partnership with Pensacola Museum of Art, University of West Florida. The exhibition is co-curated by: Lowell Bassett (Chief Curator, UWF Historic Trust), Felicia E. Gail, (Curator of Exhibitions, Pensacola Museum of Art) and Valerie George, (Professor of Art, UWF Department of Art).

Mom with Rock Bass was shown in Ft. Collins, Colorado at the Downton Artery in conjunction with Center for Fine Art Photography. Life of Water was juried by Jennifer Shaw. The photograph was selected for the Director's Award from Hamidah Glasgow. About the image: Mom with Rock Bass represents my mother’s inherent love for fishing, something that was passed down to her from her mother, who taught her how to catch, clean, and cook—a strenuous but rewarding ritual. Most of my work is shot on medium format color film, as I enjoy the rich natural tones, the film grain, and the sharpness of the image.
