Meet Elizabeth

Elizabeth Denton

Elizabeth is a multi-medium artist based in Benicia, California. Elizabeth is inspired by her intuition, thoughts, dreams, and a natural creative stream of consciousness that flows the days and months before and during her creative projects. Astrology, Feng Shui, and energy have a big importance on her process, timing and environment in which she works. Elizabeth has been creating for many years but after a trip to Iceland she was inspired to fully express her art with an emphasis on mediums where she can create visual representations of her artistic intuition. With this goal for creation in mind, ceramics has become Elizabeth’s primary medium.

Creative energy is innate in Elizabeth. When it comes to her physical surroundings, she enjoys having beautiful meaningful objects that enhance the energy of a space. With over a decade of experience in Meditation and Clairvoyant training from Berkeley Psychic Institute and Intuitive Way in Walnut Creek, Elizabeth takes the energy within and surrounding us in consideration with her creative process.
Elizabeth is an entrepreneur at heart. Previously Elizabeth owned her own business in the Napa Valley. Since retiring, she has since refocused her entrepreneurial spirit on her artistic endeavors. Alongside a relocation to Benicia, California, Elizabeth’s artwork has blossomed. Throughout her adulthood Elizabeth expressed herself through collaging, beading, and interior decorating. Since her move she has explored even more mediums, such as ceramics, enamel and water color.

Today Elizabeth can be found sharing her unique pieces with a wide variety of audiences. From featuring pieces in local galleries, to sharing her work on social media, Elizabeth is a pillar in her artistic community. Elizabeth’s goal is for anyone who interacts with her art to feel the magic and inspiration in her pieces and that they will ignite, awaken, and inspire you.

When I started creating for The Year of the Snake show, the idea of snake candelabras came to me instantly—something symbolic of the Yin Wood Snake, yet functional, holding a candle or an offering for the blessings this year brings. From vision to clay, I let my hands sculpt in a trance-like flow, allowing the piece to take form on its own. I love that moment of stepping back and thinking, Wow! That’s amazing! No plans, just pure creative energy—because even when I try to plan, the art always finds its own way.

Creating for the Year of the Snake show really opened my eyes to the beauty of repetitive forms. I imagined a snake moving and coiling in a soft, gentle way—the very essence of the yin wood snake. It’s all about that graceful shedding and letting go, paving the way for growth and fresh beginnings.

It’s an enameling day in the studio! ✨ I’m finally working on these copper snake forms I had cut for enameling—and while I was at it, I made a matching earring set! 🐍🔥 They will be available in the gallery this weekend! We’re open Saturday & Sunday from 11-5. Hope to see you there!

Behind the scenes of The Year of the Snake! ✨ For last Friday’s reception, we created special fortunes paired with handmade ceramic talismans. Each piece was crafted by Elizabeth using a hand-carved ceramic stamp to imprint a beautiful image symbolizing the Year of the Snake. The fortunes, hand-painted and written by Jennifer, were one of the many details we envisioned for this collaborative show. Grateful to bring this vision to life! 

We hope that all that came out to the reception enjoyed the evening and their fortunes because we enjoyed making them! 🐍✨🙏 @elizabethdentondesigns @jenniferlothrigel

Spent a magical evening with friends at the Napa Lighted Art Festival! ✨ So much creativity and fun—if you’re in the Bay Area, this is a must-see! Hard to believe this vibrant event is in what use to be the quiet little town I grew up in. Go Crushers! 💪🍷My heart will always belong to Napa 💕 #LightedFestival #NapaValley #BayAreaEvents #CreativeCommunity #NapaLove #creativeadventure #napalightedartfestival

It’s a messy day in the studio! Lesson learned: always double-check those glaze caps before shaking! I’m head-to-toe in Ancient Copper, and while I had already set the intention to slow down today, this little hiccup really sealed the deal.

Now my biggest worry is running out of glaze before finishing the project—looks like a supply run might be in my future. The studio adventures continue!

Testing out a press mold for a face I want to replicate! Just press the clay in, bisque fire it, and voilà! A fun little experiment I hope works out. Here’s a peek into my day and the random creative things I try. #ClayExperiment #PressMold #CeramicArt #StudioLife #HandmadeProcess #CreativeJourney #igniteawakeninspire

✨Manifesting through self-care 💕has been my guiding practice for the past few years, constantly evolving as I deepen my connection with myself. As a creative, my life blueprint is as fluid and dynamic as the sculptures I craft.

Lately, I’ve been embracing the art of intermittent wintering—pausing to retreat between creative bursts and commitments. It’s about honoring what my body craves and recalibrating my needs as I continue to listen more deeply.

✨ Amidst all my ongoing projects, I’m thrilled to share a special commission fresh out of the kiln after three firings! This radiant mermaid sculpture is more than just art—it’s a magical intention box for wishes and dreams. 🧜‍♀️💫

As this piece finds its new home, I’m diving into some exciting plans for the new year:
1️⃣ The Year of the Snake gallery show debuting January 31st 🐍
2️⃣ A massive enameling project that’s been years in the making 🔥
3️⃣ Most importantly, time for exploration and rest ✨

Here’s to creating, dreaming, and growing in the year ahead! 💕
