About

Catiana Garcia-Kilroy is a DC based photographer and development economist. In her photography she seeks to recreate the experience of place, whether it is through single images of overlooked details or places, or in more elaborated narratives, linking landscape to the memory of personal stories and historical events.  

She graduated on History of Art from the Complutense University of Madrid and holds graduate and post-graduate degrees on Economics and on European Studies, respectively, from the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium. In addition to photography, she works as an economist in development in Emerging and Developing Economies.

She co-authored with Washington DC based photographer Sandy Sugawara (https://sandysugawara.com) a photo book about the World War II Japanese American incarceration in the US called “Show Me The Way To Go To Home”. The book was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and has won design and production awards.
