Bellatrix - A Series of Femal Warriors
As a photographer Chloe Sherman-Pepe stretches the limit of her imagination to capture both the beauty and eccentricity of reality, as well as create her own world from something more personal and far more fantastical. This otherworldly tone is exhibited in her on-going collection “Bellatrix”.

This young woman’s work has been included in several galleries, photography collections, and magazines, including the collection “A Book About Death” (MOMA permanent collection), and The Free Library of Philadelphia (ongoing collection). She is known for her portraiture, fashion photography, fine art, and motion picture set documentation. Accolades include Top College Photographers of 2010, Photographer’s Forum Magazine; Print Center Award (2009); Promising Artist Award Scholarship from UARTS.
In addition to Chloe’s passion for photography, she enjoys painting, and writing poetry. With her carpentry skills, she and her husband have built their own home of her design in rural Pennsylvania.

entry description
A few years ago I began a photo project called Bellatrix, A Series of Female Warriors. Many strong women have posed for this series applying their own war paint to bring out their inner warrior. Through this series I have learned a lot about what makes women confident and strong in their daily lives, whether it be mental or physical strength. I plan to continue this series for a few years and my goal is to bring these canvas to the public through galleries around the country and in personal art collections.about the photographer
