Liz grew up in lower Westchester and knew as a young child, art was her passion and she wanted to make it her career. She received a BFA in sculpting with a minor in Ceramics from Purchase as a freshman, and then the College of New Rochelle. She has pursued, and still enjoys, a life-long career as a commercial toy and giftware sculptor providing work for the toy, museum reproduction, giftware, and cosmetic industries to name a few, including clients such as Mattel, Disney, Dark Horse Comics, Victoria Secret and many others. Recently, in the last seven years, she has been re-exploring her love for the ceramic arts and has been very passionately working both with wheel throwing and hand building. She views it as another extension of working in a three dimensional creative sculptural medium. Her pieces are very textural and patterned, her love of the natural process of clay and its properties being evident in her work. She currently lives in Putnam County with her husband and teaches clay classes, both wheel throwing and hand building, at Interarts in Patterson NY.
