Liz Mitchell

Liz Mitchell is known for her narrative paper and fiber installations. She is a multi-media artist who uses a broad range of materials and processes including printmaking and collage to satisfy her curiosity and tell her visual stories. She uses innovative layering techniques and chooses her materials specifically to create and an atmosphere around the story line. The scale of her work ranges from small handmade books to site specific installations.

She has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally in group and solo exhibitions for over 25 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
