This online benefit auction has a 10% buyer’s premium, which will be added to the final hammer price of each sold work.

Liz Nielsen (b. 1975, Ashland, WI) received her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL; her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, and her Bachelor of Arts from Seattle University, Seattle, WA. Nielsen is a photographer who works without a camera to create abstract photograms, or light paintings, as she calls them, in the darkroom. Light paintings are the result of a meticulous, methodical process of exposing light-sensitive paper to handmade negatives and various light sources that she then processes using traditional photographic chemicals.
