Item Description
"Pan Indian Movement" Archival Digital Print by Cara Romero 11" x 14"
Cara Romero is the daughter of a Chemehuevi father whose family was relocated from the Nevada deserts in the 1940s and a German-Irish mother. Born in Inglewood, CA in 1977, Cara was raised on the Chemehuevi Valley Indian reservation along the California shoreline of Havasu Lake in the heart of the Mojave Desert. She has spent time living on and off the Rez throughout her life, most recently moving back to Santa Fe in 2009.
Cara attended the University of Houston with a degree in Cultural Anthropology with which she wanted to develop complimentary documentary photography skills. Fate would have her end up at the Institute of American Indian Arts in 1999 where she obtained a degree in studio photography. The medium was quickly changing from film to digital and her dream of mastering the art took many more years. She continued to study both film and digital mediums of photography and obtained a degree in Photography Technology from Oklahoma State University. She had her first son, Noel McCoy in 2006.
Cara’s work reflects her diverse training in film, digital, fine art, journalism, editorial portraiture and commercial photography. She shows at both the Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard Indian Art Market. She has won several awards including ribbons at both major markets as well as the “Visions for the Future” award from the Native American Rights Fund.
Cara lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico and is married to Cochiti potter Diego Romero. This year they added a son to their family named Paris. Cara celebrates her family, she is a dedicated photographer, cultural activist, wife and mother.
