Linda Alterwitz (American, b. 1960) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice focuses on photography to envision the unseen rhythms of life and our relationship to the natural world. Her work emphasizes the invisible systems that shape our existence, encouraging dialogue around choice, trust, and collective experience. By integrating the authenticity of science and the communicative power of art, she creates a bridge between the visible and the unseen, inviting the viewer to reimagine our connections to one another and the world around us.
In 2024, The New York Times selected an image from her series Injection Site to accompany an essay by immunologist Dr. Rick Bright concerning national preparedness for the COVID-19 pandemic. Injection Site was exhibited at FORMAT International Photography Festival, Derby, United Kingdom, in 2025 and at the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University, in collaboration with the WSU School of Nursing, in 2026.
Alterwitz has exhibited internationally, including as part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide, and her work is held in permanent collections including the Institute for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art, the Center for Creative Photography, the Getty Research Institute, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. She lives and works in Las Vegas.
