BIO
Liz, is a figurative artist fascinated with the architecture of the human body. Interested in skin, process, perspective, and color; portions of her work narrow in on the figure exploring the face, toes, and fingers while other pieces are broadened by the composition to create a body interacting with its environment.
She uses her-self, friends, and family as subjects to visually communicate personal experiences and feelings she has experienced.
She finds inspiration in between the lines of literature, books, and music.
