“ Emily Belz’s photographs understand the work of domestic spaces… her ability to capture and convey the intangibles reinforces the idea that we do not need to travel widely to tell a marvelous story.”  - Jessica Roscio, Curator, Danforth Art

About Emily

Emily Belz is an independent photographer, educator, and curator based in Lincoln, MA. She is a place-based artist; her photographs focus on telling stories through the traces, objects, and slants of light that have been left behind.

Belz holds a BA in photography and art history from Hampshire College (1997); an MA in community-based art education from the Rhode Island School of Design (2009); and an MFA from the New Hampshire Institute of Art (2017). She teaches the Atelier portfolio building class at the Griffin Museum of Photography (Winchester, MA) and works privately with artists as a consultant and mentor.
