Bio

More

A native of France, born of Italian parents, Liz grew up in Los Angeles and is now a US citizen. Inspired by the world and her travels, she loves to portray the beauty she captures in the raw, desolate and industrial aspects of big cities and their outskirts. Her unique mixed media technique begins with the manipulation of her original photography collaged onto acrylic painted wood panels, blended within layers of colorful acrylic washes in a final step. She began this series of works with landscape paintings of the streets and alleys of Downtown L.A. A city that is currently changing and developing rapidly, her artwork captured its authenticity and some of the disappearing traces of its History. Her more current work utilizes various architectural details found in her photos to create more complex graphics, structures, imaginary landscapes and alternate realities. Liz graduated in 2002 from Otis Art Institute with a BFA in Illustration and now works as a graphic artist from her studio in Downtown Los Angeles.
