Eli J. VandenBerg’s prints are fantastic. One of them ended up on the cover of my book.
When Eli J. VandenBerg began transitioning, he also began creating self-portraits. Throughout his transition, he created and continues to create images of what his body looks like in the mirror and what it looks like in his mind. This series, like his body, is a work in progress. Eli received his B.F.A in Printmaking from Arcadia University and his M.F.A in Printmaking at Pratt Institute. He now works at The Print Center in Philadelphia. He has shown his work both nationally and internationally and was recently featured in the National Queer Arts Festival. His works have also appeared in several books and magazines.
