about Autumn...
Autumn Mist Belk uses movement, photography, design and video to create art that transcends the traditional bounds of the live stage and the gallery wall. The combination of these elements produces a clear message in all of her work — a message both personal and universal. Ultimately her work strives to touch each audience member by presenting relatable scenarios that question the ways we live and look at life.
