A day with Liz Nielsen
In the picturesque town of Newburgh, NY — just across the Hudson from DIA Beacon — photographer Liz Nielsen opens her studio for an intimate, behind-the-scenes experience. Known for her striking camera-less ‘light paintings’, Nielsen works entirely in the darkroom, using light, colour-sensitive paper, and traditional chemistry to create unique, painterly images. During this 90-minute visit led by Nielsen herself, guests explore her ground-floor exhibition space before heading upstairs to her studio, where she shares the materials and ideas that inspire her — sketchbooks, stained glass, and process notes. Ideal when paired with a visit to DIA Beacon, dates are arranged on request.
