S. Billie Mandle is from Northern California and works in Massachusetts as an Associate Professor of Photography at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Her projects have been supported by a NYFA Fellowship, a Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship, and a grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation and her work has been featured in publications such as Aperture, Cabinet, and Wired. In 2020 her monograph, Reconciliation, was published by Kehrer Verlag, and an artist book, Stellar Skytron, was published by Dust Collective. Her work is held in several public collections including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Addison Gallery of American Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Getty Institute Library, and LACMA Library. She received her BA in biology from Williams College and an MFA from MassArt.
