Liz Mitchell works out of her studio in central New Jersey. She is a multi-media artist who uses a broad range of materials and processes to satisfy her creative curiosity and tell her visual stories. She uses innovative layering techniques to create her installations, collages and mono prints. The scale of her work ranges from small handmade books to site specific installations. Her work considers the intersection of nature and the human condition through metaphor, mythology, religion and fairy tales.

She has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally in group and solo exhibitions for over 30 years most recently at Moulin Du Got Paper Mill in St. Leonard de Noblat, France and Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton, NJ. Her work is included in the collections of the Bibliotheca Alexadrina, in Alexandria, Egypt; Pennsylvania Power and Light; Johnson and Johnson WHQ, Allergan Corporate Art Collection, William Paterson University, The Experimental Printmaking Institute and Skillman Library at Lafayette College, among others.

I look to nature for a richness of content and surface textures and emulate these characteristics through my varied materials and processes. Within this visual context I investigate elements of human nature which moves us to ask questions and consider the peculiar and odd using themes found in religion, folklore and fairy tales.” Liz Mitchell
