Elizabeth Barnes

I am a dual American and Canadian citizen living and working in Vancouver, British Columbia. I hold a BFA from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, and an MFA from the University of North Carolina.

My work is realized through art historical considerations, a feminist identity, and also through personal experience. I came of age in the waning days of hippies and the Vietnam. I have witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of global capitalism. I have lived in two countries and traveled physically and psychically to many more. I have faced and survived a life threatening disease. I remember the quaint sci-fi visions of a future that has already happened. I have found solace in the natural world and now watch it dying. All of these experiences are embedded in the work.

B.F.A. - Tyler School of Art, 1990
M.F.A. - University of North Carolina, 1993
studies in Multimedia - Portland Community College, 2000-2001
