ABOUT THE ARTIST
Seattle painter and printmaker Elizabeth Sandvig (1937-2024) created expressive artworks inspired by dreams and imagination. In her own words "I am always looking for some mysterious in-between place where ideas and images come together to show me a new exciting path to follow."
Sandvig grew up in Seattle, Washington D.C., and Mexico City. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pomona College in California and a Master of Arts degree from Harvard University in Massachusetts. In 2007, she received the Twining Humber Award for lifetime artistic achievement, and an autobiographical book about her work "I Surprise Myself, The Art of Elizabeth Sandvig" was published.
