Meet Elizabeth
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.

Day 4 of building this vessel — final coil is on! Now it begins the slow, careful dry before I can refine the surface with texture and smoothing. I’m in love with how it’s blossoming… like a lotus leaf rising from deep, murky waters.
Sending good vibes that the clay dries just right. One breath at a time.

Day 3 of coil building this vessel.
It’s slow, intentional work—each coil needs time to firm up so the shape can hold. I’ll add the next layer tomorrow. There’s a quiet depth to this piece. It reminds me of the lotus—rising slowly from the mud, rooted in the dark but always reaching for the light. This vessel carries that energy of rebirth… of becoming, layer by layer.

A new ceramic vessel is emerging in the studio—part of an unfolding series inspired by deep waters, transformation, and the quiet magic of rebirth. I’m envisioning a wide brim with a lotus bloom floating at the center, a symbol of beauty rising from the depths. Not sure where the form will lead, but I trust the process. Each piece is a meditation.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there — in all your beautiful forms! Today I’m celebrating as the proud mama of our rescue kitty Marigold (the sweetest little fur baby) and my ever-so-needy inner child. I’ve also been reflecting on my own mom and this sculpture I made of her years ago — feeling all the love and gratitude.

Studio playtime today! Made a couple of hand towel holders—one for me, one for a friend. Sometimes it’s nice to just make something simple, fun, and functional. These little projects keep my hands busy when life’s full and I’m not quite ready to dive into something big. With travel and astrology conventions on the horizon, these small projects feel just right.✨🤗🎨

Creating intentional ceramic pieces and embodying them through play and photography has been such a magical and revealing journey with my dear friend and fellow artist @jenniferlothrigel . In solitude, I explore the light that longs to be seen. Deeply grateful for the shared witnessing of each other’s process and the sacred trust we hold in making space for one another.

Fresh from the kiln and full of magic—my ceremonial vessel has arrived! Waiting for it to cool was a true test of patience, but absolutely worth it. The layered blue-green glaze is mesmerizing, like deep, mysterious waters. The rough, stone-like bottom contrasts beautifully with the glassy, shell-like interior. Its sloping edge makes it perfect for pouring, and it fits so naturally in my arms. I can’t wait to use it in ritual soon!

Kiln opening joy!! Eeeeeee! I couldn’t wait to pop the lid this morning—these dragonfly sculptures turned out even better than I imagined! The colors are so vibrant, full of life and movement. I’ll be hanging them down at the gallery soon—scoop one up while you can! It’s a tiny batch and I likely won’t be making more. A perfect one-of-a-kind gift for Mother’s Day!✨💐💕

Glazing day in the studio! It’s always a little intimidating—when you love how a piece has turned out, the pressure is on not to mess it up! I had a few different visions for this one and finally settled on a deep blue-green glaze. I’m experimenting with layered effects to echo the mysterious colors of deep waters. This ocean-inspired vessel is being created for a personal birthday ceremony.
