Haylee Anne is a disability-centered artist and creative practitioner. She holds a BFA from Montclair State University (Dec. 2012), an MFA from Georgia State University (May 2026), and is a former studio artist at Guardian Studios within Echo Contemporary Art in Atlanta, GA. Her work investigates fatigue and endurance through nontraditional photographic processes and performance-based methods. Through this practice, she reframes fatigue as a lived condition that resists visibility and calls for new modes of representation.
She has shown at venues including the Atlanta Center for Photography, Center for Civil and Human Rights, Torpedo Arts Center, Soho20 Gallery, the CICA Museum, the Kyoto Shibori Museum, and the upcoming Wiregrass Biennial. Her honors include the VSA Excellence in Artistry Award from the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Center (2013), a distinguished fellowship at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences (2020), the Winne Chandler Art & Design Scholarship from Georgia State University (2023), the Anderson Ranch Workshop Scholarship (2025), the El Columpio residency with The Creatives Project (2025), the Corinne Adams Emerging Artist Fellowship from the Atlanta Center for Photography (2026), and is an Uncool Artist International Resident (2026). An enthusiastic collaborator, Haylee’s practice emphasizes expansive, empathetic impact.
She lives and works in Atlanta, GA, alongside her three cats - Jude, Jonah, and Jimmy.
