Originally from Seattle, Elizabeth Lind grew up in New York City, where she studied and performed ballet. Studies in Studio Art led to figure sculpture, and the ownership of a bronze casting foundry in South Carolina. Relocating to Rhode Island, she earned her Masters from The Rhode Island School of Design while also managing an art gallery.
She has maintained a studio since finding her passion for carving while studying at RISD. Employing simple hand tools-a mallet and chisel, Lind carves alabaster, marble, agate and limestone figures of women and their environments-either real or imagined. Mixed media and found objects are also used to create a visual poetry, reflecting the natural world.
