They have exhibited in numerous solo and group shows, including the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial (1987). The Starns received National Endowment for the Arts grants (1987, 1995), the International Center for Photography’s Infinity Award for Fine Art Photography (1992), and were artists in residence at NASA in the 1990s.
