Featured Artist
Elizabeth Addison
Ink and Flow: Exploring Nature Through the Creative Process
Fremont Art Association is delighted to feature Elizabeth Addison, visual artist, curator, and educator, at its virtual General Meeting and Art Demo on Wednesday, February 5, 2024, at 1:00 pm.
Addison is a prolific artist whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses printmaking, mixed media, digital media, and immersive installation. Addison’s bold creations are born out of the convergence of her artistic and scientific background and sensibilities and are deeply rooted in the natural world. She creates layered, tactile works that evoke the depth and fragility of our planet's ecosystems, and which constitute the subjects that vivify her striking visual stories.
In her demo “Ink and Flow: Exploring Nature Through the Creative Process,” Addison will focus on how she conceptualizes, plans, and crafts dimensional collages and sculptural works using printmaking, digital composition, and mixed-media techniques.
While California’s native flora and waterways are primary sources of examination and inspiration for Addison, she is equally passionate about social justice and environmental equity. Since 2020 she has been engaged in curatorial work bringing together artists nationally and internationally from a diverse array of backgrounds to heighten awareness of these pressing issues.
Addison is the quintessential creative—original, contemplative, and collaborative. She is an Artist-in-Residence at Kala Art Institute; Exhibition Chair for the Northern California Women’s Caucus (NCWCA); Creative Director for the Bay Area Women Artists’ Legacy Project; Co-founder of The Roots International Art Project; and member of EcoArtSpace and Women Eco Artist Dialog (WEAD). Addison holds a BA from Northwestern University and an MFA from John F. Kennedy University. Her works are included in various private and public collections.
