Liz Walsh is inspired by the plant life and city sprawl of California, Her practice is focused on the mix between technology and the entropy of the natural world. These themes appear in her work through the depiction of cockpits and flora, as well as mythic animals and exaggerated fauna. These collisions hope to entice and repel. Painting is the primary way Liz creates but she also works with video and optical sculptures.
She received an MFA in Painting from CCAC in San Francisco, CA, BFA in Painting from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She has attended the Headlands Center of the Arts residency as well as a residency at Cooper Union in NYC.
Liz Walsh lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
