Sweet Pea Art Show
So I entered this into the Sweet Pea Art Show. They had few enough entries that everyone made it into the show, so now I'm just waiting to find out if by any chance I got 1st, 2nd, or 3rd prize!

Alt. Process Final Project
Finally, my final project from Alt. Process this past Spring!
Old family photos scanned, printed as digital negatives, printed in Platinum/Palladium, then hand colored with pencil.
At first I was disappointed to discover that oil paint didn't work with the combination of the Platinum process and my paper choice (Cranes). In the end, though, I think I overcame by hesitation about working with colored pencils and that the prints turned out ok. I'm currently experimenting with different paper options, including some that would potentially let me watercolor over platinum.

Feminist Portraits on Display
Here is a terrible cellphone snapshot of some of my work on display yesterday!
The images are some of the feminist portraits that I have been working on for a project for my Portraiture class. As I do more work on them in the coming weeks I will post actual images. Here is the brief artists statement I posted with the project:
Feminist Portraits by Elizabeth Wilmerding
They were on display at MSU all day for the Take Back the Night event sponsored by the Students Against Sexual Assault group. I am involved with SASA and their affiliate, the VOICE Center, which provides options to students struggling with issues related to sexual violence. For more info on both groups as well as the TBTN event go to www.sasamsu.webs.com (of which I happen to be one of the primary editors).

Feminist Portraits by Elizabeth Wilmerding
Feminist Portraits is a series of images depicting self-identified feminists. The men and women in these portraits believe in the ideals behind the feminist movement and are not afraid to stand up for their beliefs. These people are the faces of equality and outstanding role models for our society on local and global levels.
Digital inkjet prints.

Portraiture Project
I just started a group project for my portraiture class and I'm pretty excited about it! We have to use artificial lighting and the final product needs to be a cohesive magazine or catalogue spread of 6-12 images. We were initially going to do a photo essay on the economy in Bozeman, so yesterday morning we went to photograph some homeless people to get their perspective. After spending about an hour talking to and photographing a group of six homeless individuals, we decided to focus exclusively on homelessness in Bozeman. I think it's going to end up being a powerful body of work! My job was to "interview" (aka just talk to and try to understand) the five men and one woman. Hence, these photographs were taken by Emily Barnhardt, not by me. Enjoy!
Amy and Aaron's Wedding
About six weeks ago Shelbee and I collaborated on photographing a wedding. We each shot hundreds of images; here are some of my best ones!
