This fall, the Photographic Resource Center (PRC) welcomes Elizabeth Hopkins and Sri Thumati as artists-in-residence, transforming our gallery into a shared open studio for four weeks. Working independently yet side by side, each artist will expand their practice while creating new work that reflects on and engages with the PRC’s history. Visitors are invited to witness their process, see work in progress, and experience how two distinct approaches to image-making can coexist and spark conversation.
Elizabeth Hopkins (b. 1993) is a Boston-based photographic artist and educator whose practice explores grief, transience, and the peculiar melancholy of the everyday. A graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MFA, Photography) and Skidmore College (BA, Anthropology), Hopkins has exhibited widely across New England, with work appearing in F-Stop Magazine and Pearl Press. Recently recognized as an emerging artist by Plymouth Center for the Arts, her photographs invite quiet reflection and emotional resonance.
Sri Thumati is a self-taught photographer and artist based in the Greater Boston area, with more than 25 years of experience spanning commercial and fine art photography. Beginning her journey in New Delhi and trained in darkroom printing, she later embraced alternative processes, with Cyanotype becoming her primary medium. Her work—ranging from fine art prints to one-of-a-kind Cyanotype lamps—has been shown in juried exhibitions and collected by patrons who value her meticulous attention to detail and deep love for the medium.
Together, Hopkins and Thumati bring distinct visions to the PRC residency, using the gallery as a space of experimentation, dialogue, and discovery.
We invite you to explore their work via the links and images below and to engage with their evolving projects during the course of the residency.
