Elizabeth Clark Libert creates photo-based projects that contemplate tender narratives close to home. Applying a range of visual and contextual approaches, and channeling a tone that oscillates between provocation and romance, the artist reflects on familial relationships, legacies, social stratification, personal trauma, and the complex tapestry of love.

Libert received a BA in Fine Art from Amherst College and an MFA in Photography, Video, and Related Media from the School of Visual Arts. Images from her MFA thesis received the Photo District News Student Award and the Magenta Foundation Emerging Artist Award. Her artwork has been exhibited nationally at museums, galleries, and non-profit institutions, and is held in both private and public collections, including the Fidelity Investments Collection and the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. Libert’s photographs have been commissioned for print and online publications such as T: The New York Times Style Magazine, The New Yorker Photo Booth, and Mockingbird, and she has been interviewed by Lenscratch, MaMagazine, Concept Aware, and Grenade in a Jar.

Her first monograph, Boy Crazy, was published 2023 by Workshop Arts. It has subsequently been shortlisted for the Rencontres d'Arles Book Award and added to special collections at the Houston Museum of Fine Art and at University of Colorado at Boulder. Upcoming solo exhibitions include one at Hobart and William Smith College in 2025 and Danforth Art Museum in 2026.

Libert serves on the board of the Griffin Museum of Photography and several local philanthropic committees in the Boston area, where she lives with her family.
