About

Lizzy is an artist now based in Ireland after living and working in Boston and Providence for 12 years. Through various media, she explores how form, color and texture influence the viewer. Increasingly, her work focuses on the human experience, how we relate to one another, and how that can be expressed through objects and imagery. When she is not in the studio, she is busy sewing her own clothing, learning new crafts, and making a mess of her kitchen.
