More about Elisabeth

Hi! I’m Elisabeth. I’m a multi-faceted artist who focuses on Watercolor, Gouache, Mixed Media, and Collage. Growing up, I always had an interest in various arts. My focus back then was on Theatre Arts. I was voted most likely to be a Professional Artist in high school.

In my senior high school year I was accepted into Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley, Mn. There I was introduced to the community of the general Art world. I was still focusing on Theatre there but took opportunities to learn more about music, dance, literary, media, and visual arts. One short year was a crash course in being an Advocate for Arts Education and its essential role in our lives.

I attended Winona State University for Theatre and took classes in 3D design, Drawing, 2D design, Drafting for the Stage, and Scene Painting. After graduating and marrying, my husband and I moved to the Pacific Northwest and I took a job teaching art to kids ages 3 and up. I worked mainly with soft pastels, still life, and watercolor. This was the beginning of finding my way back to my love of visual arts.

After having two kids and moving back across the country to Minnesota, I found myself in the fall of 2018 focusing heavily on watercolor. It seemed art was making a fierce comeback into my life and I couldn’t be happier. Consistently working with watercolor opened my curiosity to other areas such as hand lettering, drawing with ink, mixed media art journaling, and generally fostering the idea that creating something every day can do wonders for your mental health and expand your imagination the more you work with it.

So here we are and I’m so glad you made it this far because that means maybe some of my story resonates with yours. Thanks for learning about me, and being with me on my artistic journey ahead.
