Elizabeth Siegfried
Fine Art Photographer
Artist Statement
“My photographs are permeated with the inevitable unfolding of time. Layered images point to what endures. With haunting references to place and spiritual and generational legacy, the work invites the viewer to look deeply, to contemplate and find resonance with images that seem to exist simultaneously in the past and present. Always there is evidence of beauty with a tinge of sadness and qualities of impermanence and imperfection.”
