Moldenhauer’s photographic work has used the landscape as its foundational element to explore light and darkness, time and place, and the poetic symmetry of the moment. Her work is personal, exploring image-making in project-based series that have spanned square, panorama, pinhole, and digital formats. Her most recent series, Home Place and Still Life, have drawn on her 40 year collaborative work with photographer Jennifer Anne Tucker. Together they have explored image-making using fabrics which involved each being photographer and model for the other and sharing images of the sky in response to each other’s PA and WY locations. Most recently their work considers their respective home places as a source of image-making along with aging and later in life challenges.

​

Moldenhauer has worked with artist Wendy Lemen Bredehoft and dancer/choreographer Margaret Wilson in collaborative called Sequencing Through Time and Place. Their work explored place through on-location research and eventual exhibitions, publications, and programs in visual art, dance/choreography, and photography.

Moldenhauer received her BFA in printmaking from Northern Illinois University and her MFA in photography from Penn State. She retired in 2017 from 33 years in arts administration, curation, and community arts advocacy. Today, she devotes her time on her studio practice. She lives and works in Laramie, WY.
