She was born in Washington, D.C., and raised in a small town on Lake Michigan, where she spent summers jumping off the pier and swimming to shore. Liz asked for a camera for her eleventh birthday and always took pictures, but it wasn’t until she was in grad school for writing that she realized she wanted to be a photographer. Her work was selected for inclusion in The Collector’s Guide to Emerging Art Photography (published by the Humble Arts Foundation) and has been exhibited across the United States and editioned through 20x200.
