MVUUF Chalicelight Gallery Exhibit
Shirley Forrest and Elizabeth Dobson
We are pleased to feature the photography of Shirley Forrest and Elizabeth Dobson, mother and daughter, in our Gallery throughout the month of May. Shirley Forrest has been a member of MVUUF since 2001. She has enjoyed writing and merging her writing with images for a long time, but much more so in recent years. Her ambition and intention is to share a taste of the beauty and insights life has gifted her, many facilitated and nurtured by the MVUUF community. She is the mother of Elizabeth Dobson. They have enjoyed encouraging and supporting each other in their respective creative endeavors and are appreciative of this unique opportunity to display some of their work together in this sacred space.
Elizabeth Catherine Dobson has been using the photography medium as a form of expression, edification, and employment since high school. She received her Certification of Photographic Technologies at Sinclair Community College in 2005. She is a graduating senior at Antioch College receiving her degree in Cultural Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in Media Arts. During her time at Antioch she had the opportunity to participate in the New York Arts program and interned at Saturday Night Live, photographing rehearsals and behind the scenes moments. She also interned with a catalog photographer who does food shoots for the Wall Street Journal. In March of this year Elizabeth's work was recognized by the Society for Photographic Education when she received the prestigious Jeannie Pearce Award for digital photography at this year's conference in Denver, Colorado. Elizabeth is grateful to share this opportunity and space with her mother, Shirley Forrest, who has been an amazing supporter and friend throughout her education.
