Hi!
My name is also Liz. I’m a visual artist / person living in Brooklyn.
I make drawings, etchings, and paintings, and I’m avid keeper of sketchbooks and other journals, filled indiscriminately with drawings, notes, diagrams, ideas, writing, and bits collected, found, or made.
I’m a member of and make work in the studios at Manhattan Graphics Center. I’m also a member of the Society of American Graphic Artists, and the Print Club of New York, which featured my work in 2021. I show and sell my prints online, as well as in in juried and non-juried exhibits, including two at the Gallery at the Met in 2022.
All this to say: a majority of my art comprises works on paper— ergo: the Flat Files.
Why am I on Substack?
Because writing is also a pond that I swim in. I kept a blog for years, but my habit of writing regularly took a hit when I began working a full-time office gig as a creative director. It has inevitably allowed less free time than my freelance career as a designer / illustrator. Writing, in tandem with my visual pursuits, served as a way to mentally work through things, a conduit for telling stories, a compass to find my true north, a lens to enlarge small magic; and of course— a way to connect with others (like you).
So I joined Substack to pick up the thread that’s strung with words again— and I hope you’ll join me.
