After teaching art and ELL at the high school level, Liz turned her attention to raising her twin boys (her favorite project!). Now that her sons are grown, this is the first time in Liz's life that she has been able to paint full-time. Throughout her life, though, Liz has always found a way to keep her hands messy with paint, whether it be through her involvement in mural projects (including a local one at Camas Ridge Elementary), by creating posters for political/social organizations or through classes and open studios at community art centers such as Maude Kerns.
