Liz grew up in lower Westchester and knew as a young child that art was her passion and that she wanted to make it her career. She received a BFA in sculpting with a minor in ceramics from Purchase College and later the College of New Rochelle. She has pursued, and still enjoys, a lifelong career as a commercial toy and giftware sculptor, providing work for the toy, museum reproduction, giftware, and cosmetic industries, including clients such as Mattel, Disney, Dark Horse Comics, and Victoria's Secret, among many others.
Recently, over the last seven years, she has been re-exploring her love for the ceramic arts and has been passionately working with both 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 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.
