About the artists:

Elizabeth McAdams

Elizabeth McAdams studied fine art at Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia and Advertising Design at Central Piedmont Community College, Charlotte N.C. She is a long-time member of The National Association of Photoshop Professionals, a member of The Vintage Photography Guild of North Carolina, and The Carolina Artists. She is a member of the Rail Walk Studios and Studios & Gallery.

Her works have been shown at Rail Walk Studios & Gallery, The Cauble Creek Vineyard Photography Invitational, The Carolina Artists Art Expo, and The Carolina Artists Photography Expo, (Salisbury, NC), The Southern Arts Society (Kings Mountain, NC) and as the featured artist in The Vintage Photography Guild of North Carolina 22nd Annual Exhibit (Stanly County).

Statement:

“After living in many different locations I have learned the importance of sense of place and that is what I strive to capture. It is said that photographs don’t lie. Photographs can and do lie, usually a lie of omission, as the human eye sees far more than a camera records. The challenge is to show even what the camera missed.”

Statement:
