The Artist
Elizabeth Durso (b. 1986) grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, graduated from the School of the Art Institute, and has been working in the visual art, design, and fashion industries for over two decades. You can find her sharing her love of creative expression around the world in galleries, businesses, and boutiques.

The Process
Inspired by minimalism, simplicity, and spontaneity, the artist uses found materials, camera equipment, and natural light to create imagery. She captures candid photographs, in raw files, and prefers minimal post production processes. Elizabeth often combines these snapshots with curated content into dreamlike collages. She also incorporates video and sound into her projects to stimulate new sensations and sentiments.
The Art
Elizabeth produces contemporary photographs, drawings, and collages featuring unaffected patterns, the human form, and the natural world. Her work reveals themes of instinct, beauty, power, and politics. She creates both aesthetically pleasing and thought provoking images documenting visual information and the human experience.
