Elizabeth Lind  of North Kingstown, Rhode Island

Originally from Seattle, Elizabeth Lind grew up in New York City where she studied and performed ballet. Studies in studio art led to figure sculpture and eventually the ownership of a bronze casting foundry in South Carolina. Relocating to Rhode Island, she earned her master’s degree from the Rhode Island School of Design while also managing an art gallery.

She has maintained a sculpture studio since finding her passion for carving while studying at RISD. Employing simple hand tools- a mallet and steel chisels, Lind carves life-size alabaster, marble, and limestone figures of women and their environments- either real or imagined. Mixed media and Found Objects are also used to create a visual poetry, reflecting the natural world. She has been the recipient of awards and recognitions throughout New England. Her work has been exhibited at the Newport Art Museum, Phoenix Gallery NYC, Attleboro Art Museum, New Bedford Art Museum, Newport Spring Bull Gallery, and Hera Art Gallery.
