Collective Liberation is comprised of a photograph, acrylic paint and resin. The base materials for the work are a wooden paneled canvas that supports the adhesion of a rolled photographic canvas, a fine art photography print. The canvas print is adhered to the wood using a clear acrylic varnish. Acrylic Paint is added along with resin. This specific piece of art was physically put together in an outdoor studio and there was moisture during the drying process for the resin, as a result it dried with a foggy, matte finish instead of the typical glossy look. I added clear spray paint to make the original work come through in the most vibrant way possible, later adding more colors and textures during a recent exhibition in Brooklyn, NY. The inspiration for this piece comes from the concept of community, power in numbers, and our collective fight for freedom. Through connection with others, we find and experience freedom and liberation. This image was captured during my first nude women’s open call photoshoot in October 2019 in Manhattan, New York. It was a rainy and cold day, and these were the women who endured the weather and who showed up to get naked for this image and for a day of fun, bonding and mystery at a secret part of a public park in upper manhattan. The experience of shooting, modeling and creating the art is cathartic for both the subjects and for myself as the artist.

Elsa Marie Keefe is an artist who explores body positivity through photography, mixed media collage, and book-making. Her complete immersion into the nudist lifestyle has shaped her creative practice. She integrates the figure into nature to comment on significant issues such as sexuality, societal oppression, spirituality, and the sublime. The large-scale pieces are rich in texture and vulnerability. By incorporating natural elements back into the artwork, such as bones, flora, crystals, and dirt, her process emphasizes the cyclical nature of our time here on Earth. Her work has been exhibited nationally and across the boroughs of New York City, including The Blue Gallery, New York; The Invisible Dog Art Center, Brooklyn; Ziome, Miami; and Ophelia’s in Denver, Colorado. She has been featured at Miami Basel, The Other Art Fair, SOHO House, and The Southampton History Museum. Recent interviews with the artist were broadcasted on TNT Radio and available to read on Northshore Magazine and Saatchi Art Blog. The three books published by Elsa are titled Born Wild, Delirium, and Salvation. Blending her commercial and personal fine art practices, Elsa partners with people and organizations to promote healthy naturist lifestyles. She facilitates women’s healing circles and collaborative photographic experiences alongside her art. Elsa Marie Keefe is based between Boston and the Hudson Valley of New York State and is available for conversation, collaboration, and commissions. Please contact the artist at
