Hi, I'm Liz; 

A born and raised Washingtonian with a booming laugh and a head in the clouds. Me and my giant dog Skye live alongside a shimmering creek where we get to watch eagles, herons, salmon, and deer do their thing. My home studio is filled to the brim with materials and mediums just begging to be made into my next creation.

I've been asked for my secret to creating a few times now. But truth be told, tiny Lizzy simply picked up a crayon one day and never wanted to put it down. No tips or tricks, just creating. But you do have to be open to inspiration wherever you can find it. 

The Pacific Northwest's never ending supply of floral beauty has been oh-so-generous to my creative process. Something about paying homage to that perfectly romantic, rich red dahlia in the summertime makes me feel alive. My most favorite thing about flowers is how they mean something different to everyone. A late loved one, their wedding day, a place in the world their heart belongs to... "The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse." - Walt Whitman. May my verse arrive drenched in the sweet scent of spring lilac. 

My passion for this particular craft began with buttercream and cupcakes. My love for flowers was already alive and well.  Cupcakes and flowers have a particularly frustrating commonality; neither last. After falling in love with the art of pastry piping, I set out to find a way to preserve the beauty of my creations forever.

Then came Gaffrey Art Material, the thick paint that introduced me to the world of sculptural painting.
