Eva Timothy | Finding Freedom

One of the unforgettable qualities of Eva Timothy's photographs is the way she causes the viewer to feel as if they are behind the scenes of a historical event as it's unfolding. This holds true through her newest series entitled Finding Freedom: The Light of Liberty where her black and white images, filled with dramatic lighting and emotion, lead us through a visual story of America's quest for independence.

Eva Timothy captures historically relevant artifacts from our country's leaders, such as John Adams' original copy of The Constitution, letters from Benjamin Franklin and books from Thomas Jefferson among others. Her photographs are an intimate portrayal of the individuals who not only helped define the word freedom but also helped create our great nation.

The artist states, "In this body of work I have taken the opportunity to reflect on the birth of the greatest democracy and standard of liberty which the world has ever known. May the flames of freedom blaze ever on."
