River Ingham is an emerging multidisciplinary artist, social impact strategist and creative writer based in Greater Philadelphia. They seek to bring their lived experience and multi-faceted identity to life through their creative expression.

They are actively producing experimental photography through printmaking and submission to open gallery calls for art.

River developed this double-exposure in fall of 2025. This piece was recently featured in a local gallery show.
River believes that pursuing art is a liberatory practice that is essential in times where the future seems uncertain. They aim to create freely and without expectation of audience perception, navigating their craft as a way to connect purely with the energy source that surrounds us all.
Please consider a gift to help them sustain their ability to access this art process!
