I am starting a new series! I am making portraits of women of the North Fork of Long Island. The North Fork has long boasted a vigorous women's community. As the area changes, and people age, I wanted to document the members of this community before it changes radically. (https://www.elizabethdebethuneart.com/lgbtq-portrait-series.html#/)
I am especially thrilled to share that I will be exhibiting my work at the Garrison Art Center in October of 2025. Stay tuned!

Westchester LGBTQ History Project Published
This is a website devoted to research and oral histories documenting LBGTQ+ life in Westchester County. The website development is funded by a grant from SUNY Purchase, which both Allee and I graduated from. I was thrilled to see that I get to keep company among the oral histories with two of my subjects for the portrait project, Michael Sabatino and Robert Voorheis, as well as my painting friend and Crit Lab colleague, Mitchell Visoky.
Check out the website; Allee is doing some wonderful work.
