About the Artist

 

About Elizabeth…

I’ve been creating since I was a small child at the living room coffee table with my pile of crayons, and stacks of random pieces of papers with a cat by my side.

Not much has changed! I enjoy creating in a variety of mediums, sizes, and styles. I like the unusual, the different, the whimsical, the interesting.

Exploring new ideas and materials is important to me. Seeing how these things interact with one another fascinates me.

I am endlessly entertained by lines, marks, and black ink.

In addition to my artwork, I am a fine arts & antique appraiser + an antique dealer. My love and passion for art, design, history, and antiques are completely intertwined with my creative process, and have been my entire life.

To learn more about my appraisal services + antiques, please visit www.ebcovintage.com, Instagram @ebcovintage, and my Etsy Shop, EB & Co. Vintage

Thank you for following my creative journey!
