Elizabeth has created awe-inspiring murals and dimensional installations for schools, special needs programs, and public libraries. She works to engage and inspire her viewers by transforming dreary spaces into vibrant wonderlands, igniting people’s imaginations and reminding us all of our boundless potential. Her artistic journey began when she enrolled her non-verbal daughter in a special needs school. The corridors were as dull as dishwater, and Elizabeth couldn't stand it. So, she dedicated a decade to infusing those hallways with innovative assemblage panoramas and vibrant colors. The result? Corridors full of motivation for children to discover their voice and recognize their strengths. Her recent "Message in a Bottle" installation at the Wildling Museum in Solvang, California, USA, immerses viewers in an underwater world, with peculiar fish, medicine bottle kelp, and lacey jellyfish cut from milk jugs. The installation invokes viewers to consider their impact on our oceans – and their ability to reduce plastic pollution.
