Artist Bio

Elizabeth was born into a family of successful artists and designers in Santa Fe, New Mexico — a region known for its rich blend of traditional and contemporary art inspired by its landscape, culture and history. 

Her grandmother founded Nambé Mills in 1951, a company which grew to produce high-end home accessories now sold worldwide. Elizabeth's parents owned and operated Nambe Mills for several years, growing the brand to the point where it was sold in “A”-stores like Bloomingdales and Macy's. They also owned art galleries and foundries, which produced the works of many famous artists. So it’s no surprise her love of art began at an early age. While most kids were playing with dolls or toy cars, Elizabeth was busy creating pieces out of clay, wax and metal at her family’s gallery and foundry.

After moving to Los Angeles in 1998, her work caught the eye of the Beverly Hills and global design community. She soon began to receive commissions from some of the world's leading architects and interior designers. Since then, she has continued to push the boundaries of what is possible, creating stunning finishes and artwork for both commercial and residential environments.

As a sculptor and painter, Elizabeth was trained in the family businesses in various media and techniques. Her talents also evolved under the tutelage of many well-known artists and design professionals. Today, she is known for her innovative artistic approach. By combining traditional wall finishing techniques with modern designs, she has created a unique style that has earned her international acclaim. Her work has also been featured in several publications.

Elizabeth currently resides in Salzburg, Austria. When she's not busy working on her latest projects, she enjoys spending time in nature, exploring new places, and indulging in her lifelong passion for all things creative.
