This IRIS Nights presentation offers a conversation between Olympic champion Jessica Mendoza and photographer Marla Rutherford, an artist who has captured Mendoza's winning spirit.
Marla Rutherford has worked in both the fine art and commercial worlds. Her prints have been displayed in galleries around the world, including Arles, Paris, Milan, Beijing, Lausanne, New York, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles. Her photography is currently part of the traveling museum exhibition "Regeneration: 50 Photographers of Tomorrow." Rutherford was also one of twelve photographers shown in the Discovery Award exhibition hall of the Rencontres d'Arles photo festival in France curated by Christian LaCroix.
Rutherford shoots for Entertainment Weekly, ESPN The Magazine, Los Angeles magazine, TIME, People, the advertising agency Fletcher Martin and USA Network, among others.
Jessica Mendoza has been a member of the U.S. Women's National Softball Team since 2001, and is one of the top hitters in the world. As a key member of U.S. Olympic softball team, Mendoza won a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games, and silver medal at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. In 2007, the U.S. team went undefeated, taking home its sixth consecutive Pan American gold medal and capturing the World Cup championship.
Mendoza was recently elected President of the Women's Sports Foundation, an organization that inspires young girls to compete in sports and encourages fair play among both boys and girls. With many charitable interests, she enjoys conducting clinics for children and shaping the future of the sport.
