My Portfolio
Hello! My name is Elizabeth and I’m from Virginia Beach, Virginia. I am a recent graduate from the University of Mary Washington, in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I obtained a B.A. in Studio Art with a minor in Business Administration and graduated summa cum laude.
I am currently searching for entry level jobs in the fields of design, interior design, and architecture . With my love for the studio arts, I am eager to transition into the field of interior/architectural design and weave my artistic sensibilities into functional and visually captivating spaces.

Art Abroad
Within my artistic journey I have always loved the history of art. In the summer of 2023 I studied abroad with the American University of Paris and took a course called “Art Through Parisian Museums.” I took my film camera everywhere I explored. Check it out!
