Storyteller, Poet & Multimedia Artist
"The best art is in the experiencing of it. The story. No matter the form it arrives in, it's how you feel when it makes it's impact and you breath it in.
These are the stories that drive me, and that I strive to seek out, write down, lift up and celebrate widely."

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
I'm Elizabeth.
I am an essential storyteller. No matter the medium, (and there are many!) I am continually seeking to illuminate the essence within the internal life.
In my creative work, I draw on my extensive background as an actress, a filmmaker, a poet, a fine artist, a photographer, a somatic practitioner in counseling, a human and a mother.
I am deeply driven by deeply felt stories that bring us back to our shared humanity and I love nothing more than watching them come to life.
My current project is a multi-media book of poetry called Body of Windows about becoming a mother in 2020.
The inspiration for the book was born from life. Honestly, becoming a mother in May of 2020 felt a bit like turning my body into a house. This book is meant to feel like looking through the windows at the life lived within.
Told nonlinearly, in poetry and multi-media photographs, it is an intimate and unflinching invitation, examining the deep themes of motherhood: love and grief, invisibility, transformation and our collective cultural reckoning.
