Artist Education: Photographing your Artwork

Join us at the ACWL-Nuveen on Tuesday November 2, from 6:00pm – 7:00pm for an informative presentation on tips for photographing your artwork. Having good digital images of your artwork makes an important first impression on jurors for exhibitions, artisan markets and for online sales. Photographer Denise McElrath and ACWL-Nuveen Assistant Director and artist Susan Wink will share some practical do’s and don’ts to enhance your presentation.

About the Presenters:

Denise McElrath first started exploring photography in a highschool yearbook class. She was then accepted into an after-school photography club where she learned how to use a 35mm film camera, develop film, and print in a darkroom. As an adult, her hobby grew into owning a portrait studio and teaching adult education classes. 

A Michigan native, Susan Wink lived in the high plains desert of Roswell, New Mexico for several years where she maintained a professional studio creating custom ceramic tile and designing and building community-based public art. She also has an extensive education background teaching art to all ages in school and museum settings.

COVID-19 Considerations:

We kindly request that all participants wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status.
