Tuesday's Artist: Elizabeth Frank

In order to keep my creative tank chugging along I like to fill it with all sorts of visual fuel. This "Tuesday's Artist" thing is my way of sharing some of the artists that inspire and delight me. I asked them to do a finish-this-sentence sort of mini-interview so we might get to know them a little better. 

This week's spotlight is shining on Elizabeth Frank. Most of her artworks are carved from fallen aspen that she gathers in the mountains of Northern Arizona and New Mexico. She combines the carved wood with an assortment of other reclaimed materials. I love her folky, quirky, colorful creations.

Lady of Wildflowers

She says:

If I wasn't an artist maybe I'd be an archaeologist.

Today, I'm listening to Pandora Radio. Coldplay is playing now.

Monster Heads

I'm really good at standing on my head.

I'd like to be better at speaking Spanish.

Tiny Red Bunny Monster

When I was a kid I was the artist in the class

I hate it when the hollyhocks are finished blooming.

Tin Can Angel

My workspace is sawdust heaven.

Right now, I'm really into making a sculpture holding a giant magic book.

Man and Universe

I hope that my art touches someone’s heart, or bends someone’s brain or makes someone smile!

You can see more of Elizabeth Frank on her website, her blog, or her Etsy shop.
