Current Member Artist
January and February South End Member Artist: Liz Jarvis
Nature is Magic
Hiking and exploring the woods with her dog has allowed Liz to find beauty in the every day natural world, and to share that beauty with others. Picking up a pinecone here, and a piece of trash there, she hopes to make the world a more beautiful and habitable place. Using the bounty of nature she collects on her jaunts (but not the trash, that gets responsibly disposed of!), Liz uses a combination of creative techniques (sculpture, painting, clay work, wire wrapping, sewing, and more) to let nature reveal its secrets and tell her what it would like to be. Thus, a shell becomes a fairy bath, a pinecone a roof for a family of gnomes.
All materials are sustainably collected from the forest floor or recycled from her life or secondhand from shops or friends. Nothing is wasted, and everything is treasured and given new life with a pinch of magic and a healthy dose of loving care. Each piece is one of a kind and handmade from scratch.
If you'd like to commission a piece to make your own dream come to life, contact Liz today! faeanything@yahoo.com
