About the artist:
Elizabeth’s passion for photography developed from a young age encouraged by her father, who was also a photographer. She lives on a comparatively isolated property in country Victoria. As a result, the property abounds with life; some creatures so tiny or quick we too easily miss their existence, and never see their beauty. She loves the intimate peek at the details of nature captured by her cameras, the beauty and detail usually missed by the naked eye.
Elizabeth also has a particular love for marine mammals and wildlife. Her hope is that her photographs will show to others the beauty of these animals and highlight the plight they are facing because of damage to their environment. In the last few years, Elizabeth has been learning alternative photography processes through Gold Street Studios in East Trentham. This has led to looking at different photographic subjects, those with structure and texture to bring out the best in these processes.
About ‘A Study In Contrasts’:
This exhibition of Elizabeth’s photographs includes both digital prints and hand-made palladium photographs. The subjects cover subjects from Australia as well as North America and Baja California Sur, Mexico, and Hungary.
A Study in Contrasts is about showing the beauty of the wildlife and nature across these regions, along with a handful of landscapes, which are some of Elizabeth’s favourite places. She highlights the beauty of physical structures through the palladium photographs.
Elizabeth’s idea with mixing the subjects of nature and the physical structure is to highlight that beauty is everywhere to be appreciated.
