Her Cosmology was inspired by cultures that celebrate ocean goddesses. This is a self portrait embodying some of the things I love the most which are seashells, birds, butterflies and the sea. Each piece has been photographed by me, the paper is metallic photo paper that I've printed and cut, finally assembling on gessoed wood. I hope the viewer is inspired to spent more time in nature and enjoy their own personal power spot - wherever that may be.

Calethia DeConto (American, born December 27, 1980) is a lens based artist known for her imagery that explores a conscious relationship with nature, personal rituals in healing, sensuality and metaphysical intuitions. Born to adventurous parents - Calethia was raised in about 15 places traveling often with her military father. DeConto began taking photographs at a young age - connecting with the land, communities and new cultures wherever “home” was for that time. In 1997 Calethia fell in love with California and the underground hip hop scene of North County San Diego. Throughout the late nineties she documented everything she could, teaching herself with books and studying photography Palomar College. DeConto’s passion for darkroom techniques flourished as she worked for many years as a fine art printer for other photographers and artists. After a decade of working professionally as a portrait photographer, Calethia moved to Los Angeles to focus her energy on exhibiting personal work while simultaneously delving into spiritual practices, healing modalities and occasionally jumping on various sets to shoot behind the scenes. From 2007 Calethia has exhibited her photography and short films with galleries across the United States in group and solo exhibits. She continues to utilize her lens as a means to study and honor the natural world, incessantly photographing found objects, shapes and feminine figures that come together like a visual poem in the form of collage, cyanotype, short film or cinematic photograph. DeConto’s greatest inspiration is our soul’s physical experience in the natural world and the idea that all sacred objects have a vibration. When Calethia’s not in her Los Angeles studio she’s likely drinking a cup of chai while writing or watching birds fly over sparkling waves at the beach. Process About DeConto’s Cyanotypes Calethia learned this technique in 2001 using her medium format 6x7cm negatives but longed to expand beyond the traditional rectangular format and use cyanotype chemistry as paint. Since 2017 she has been creating freehand shapes and cutting her large format digital negatives to collage within the design. Her inspiration comes from the way rivers look above from planes, a lifelong love of the ocean’s color, movement and healing energy. As Calethia creates the “template” she paints the chemistry instinctively in low light often listening to meditation music.
