Liz Mitchell is a multi-media artist who creates handmade books and sculptural works that are full of stories that connect to the universal human experience in content and materials. Her books are meant to be held and experienced intimately as the stories she shares are offered through a combination of images, words, printmaking, collage, and the beauty of the meticulously made binding and pages. Her sculptural works often are presented as installations that are in human scale that invite her audience to be challenged with themes that are at times jarring and at other times connecting to the beauty of transcendence. In either form she works with materials that look delicate, but are durable enough to travel around the world for display. She works with handmade paper, fibers, wax, natural elements, and figurative forms to create works that are both visceral and cerebral. All are created based on an immense amount of personal, artistic, and historical research that help determine all aspects of what she makes. Liz shares how that search often leads her down the deepest of rabbit holes, but also how it helps her also find the deepest connections between people.
