Artist Statement
These photographs were taken spontaneously on an iPhone, capturing moments that the poet found compelling in her day. This practice helps Whiteacre be mindful and observant. Whiteacre uses the Snapseed app to edit moments, cropping or filtering images to highlight details. She shares daily details that she hopes spark curiosity and storytelling.
Liz Whiteacre is a poet who explores accident, disability, aging, and wellness.

Her poems have appeared in Wordgathering, Disability Studies Quarterly, Kaleidoscope, Breath & Shadow, Flying Island, and other publications.
