Linda Alterwitz is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus on photography. Her practice centers on the unseen rhythms of the human body and our relationship to the natural world, encouraging dialogue on choice, trust, and collective experience. Alterwitz endured a health crisis in the late 1990s, which transformed her practice as she began to combine art and science in her image creation.
In 2024, the New York Times selected an Injection Site portrait to accompany an essay by the immunologist Dr. Rick Bright, who filed a whistleblower complaint against the first Trump administration for ignoring his warnings about national preparedness for the Covid-19 pandemic. Alterwitz exhibited Injection Site at FORMAT International Photography Festival, Derby, UK in 2025 and at Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University, Kansas, in conjunction with the WSU School of Nursing in 2026.
Alterwitz has exhibited her work widely, including at the Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, CA (part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide Getty Initiative); Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, Las Vegas; Hilliard Art Museum, Lafayette, LA; New Mexico Museum of Art, Santa Fe; Yixian International Photo Festival, Yixian, China; and Ring Cube Gallery, Tokyo, among others. Her work is held in permanent collections including The Institute for Art + Environment at Nevada Museum of Art in Reno; Center for Creative Photography, Tucson; Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles; Hilliard Art Museum, Lafayette, LA; Spencer Art Reference Library, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO; Constance and George Fearing Library, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, CA; Wallace Library, Rochester Institute of Technology; Marjorie Barrick Museum, University of Nevada, Las Vegas; and the Lilley Museum of Art, University of Nevada, Reno. Alterwitz lives and works in Las Vegas.
