Elizabeth Stockton
I'm motivated by the belief that Art Elevates Life with its power to uplift and transform.
As an artist with an empathetic nature, I strive to capture the beauty, complexity, and emotions of the world and the collective consciousness. Art allows people to escape the mundane and engage with something greater than themselves. More importantly, it can help make the world a kinder place where there is a commitment to human rights, respect for the environment, and alleviation of human suffering. It serves as a way for me to process and make sense of the world around me.
BIO.
