How I like to work

I love a blank surface – a space filled with undiluted potential. The mundane as well as the fantastic captivate me, each holding its own allure, secrets, and mystery. A pebble examined closely becomes an island, paper flying in the wind glimpsed from the corner of an eye – an escaping spirit.

My brain brings me images, my heart passion to create. Whether they are expressed with color, mark, and gesture, or stings of symbols that are interpreted as language depends on the moment, the storm, or the mood. I have created this place for both images and words.

Some Details About elizabeth

Arizona based, mixed media artist and sometimes writer, Elizabeth Criger, has been honing her creative skills since childhood. Self-taught, she has dedicated her life to the development of her skills and her creative practice. She is passionate about art, science, and the nature of perception and how it colors experience.
Marrying her life long obsessions with science and art, she focuses on subjects such as the evolution of Self, the nature of experience, perception and our often complex and conflicting emotions.

Although the competed work is important to her, she revels in the creation of the work, drawing insight from the act of creation and reading the product as a message. 

Her studio is located at the Steinfeld Warehouse, 101 W 6th Street in downtown Tucson, AZ. Elizabeth’s artwork has been featured in exhibitions across the country and is showcased in numerous private collections.
