Life and work

Riepenhoff is from Atlanta, GA. She received a BFA in photography from the University of Georgia, and an MFA from San Francisco Art Institute.[2] She lives in Bainbridge Island, Washington, and San Francisco, California.[2]

She makes camera-less cyanotypes in collaboration with the landscape and the ocean.[6] "Riepenhoff utilises waves, rain, wind and sediment in her process, creating physical inscriptions through the direct contact of these natural phenomena with her photographic materials".[7]
