#MeetHeraArtistElizabethLind
Tell us your artist story, some biographical info, when did you decide to be an artist? Why do you make art? Where did you study? Etc.
I've always been drawn to the human figure, especially women, and their environments, either real or imagined. I enjoy a sensual surrealism in my work and utilize meaningful objects to create a visual poetry.
What do you want people to walk away with after experiencing your work?
Literature on natural phenomenon, as well as the literary works of Goethe and Rilke are always inspiring, intertwining with the symbolism of the sea, branches, the sky, birds, and most especially sirens.
What influences your work? Why?
My background includes a deep love of the ocean, an education from RISD, the ownership of a bronze foundry, and interacting with many students who will always be in my heart. I'm originally from Seattle but have adopted Rhode Island as my home, having discovered this state's unique magic.
What does it mean to you to participate in Hera, either as an artist member OR as an exhibiting artist?
Being a part of Hera is an honor and a source of strength. Hera, without question, supports her artists, their vision, and the path each individual chooses to take without
expecting anything in return.
