Biography

Stringfellow received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Academy of Art College in San Francisco in 1988.[5] She graduated with distinction and appreciation.

A collection of her photographs entitled Photographic Constructions, was displayed at the Morphos Gallery in San Francisco in 1994. The collection explored personal narratives and addressed spirituality and feminist issues through art history.

Stringfellow's The Charmed Horizon was selected for exhibit at the School of Visual Arts as part of the Seventh New York Digital Salon and the technOasis: ArtSite in 1999.[6] During this same year, it was chosen as the Best-Art related site at the 2nd Annual South by Southwest Interactive Web Competition.

In the year 2000, Stringfellow received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

The next year, she became an assistant professor at San Diego State's School of Art, Design, and Art History. In addition, Stringfellow took part in Salmoncity.net, a web-based piece of art commissioned by the Seattle Arts Commission in response to the ESA listing of the Puget Sound Chinook salmon as regionally threatened.

Stringfellow was commissioned to create Safe As Mother's Milk for the Cornish College of the Arts in 2002. This project had its final exhibition in 2004.

In 2005, the Center for American Places published Stringfellow's first book, Greetings from the Salton Sea.[7]

In 2006, Stringfellow collaborated with artist Amy Balkin to launch invisible 5, a self-guided audio tour of the portion of Interstate 5 which stretches from San Francisco to Los Angeles. She also appeared on KPBS in an interview with Tom Fudge to commemorate the centennial and discuss the future of the Salton Sea.

The following year, Stringfellow rose to become an associate professor with tenure at San Diego State University.

The work which would be featured as part of Jackrabbit Homestead was first featured in a 2008 exhibition in the Hyde Art Gallery at Grossmont Community College in El Cajon, California.

Stringfellow was part of the art department of University of Nevada Las Vegas' visiting lecturer series in 2009.[8] In October of that same year, Stringfellow spoke about her photography at the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.[9] She also released her second book Jackrabbit Homestead: Tracing the Small Tract Act in the Southern California Landscape, 1938-2008 in December of that year.
