Welcome to Beholding the Image.

My name is Elizabeth Hamilton. I am an artist and scholar, so I have a vested interest in the art of observation.  Artists and art historians go beyond beholding or looking and strive to understand better the ways in which we behold.  As I explore, discover, and create I invite you to follow the journey from my point of view.  

 
"The way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe." 
John Berger, Ways of Seeing (1972)
