Elizabeth Kleinveld

Elizabeth Kleinveld divides her time between Amsterdam and New Orleans. Her work has been exhibited and published internationally and is in museums and private collections in the U.S. and Europe. She spent a year documenting the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In 2007, Kleinveld shifted her focus to flowers, finding inspiration in the vibrant colors of exotic flowers and their reflection in water, which gives her work an abstract quality. Her Katrina work was exhibited in NOMA's Katrina Exposed (2006), the Road to Peace show in The Hague's City Hall (2007), and ’It Ain't Necessarily So' with prize-winning Dutch poet, Rogi Wieg (2008). Kleinveld co-organized the traveling exhibition Before, During, After: Louisiana Photographers Respond to Katrina that will premiere at Houston’s DiverseWorks in September 2010 to commemorate the fifth anniversary.
