Elizabeth H Stone
Biography
Elizabeth Stone (b.1950 Ft. Campbell, KY) is a figurative artist whose work in various media begins with the human body, explores the disembodied figure, and ultimately contemplates its unseen spiritual essence. She uses waxed fabric, paper and animal gut lit from within to create luminescent life-sized forms. Elizabeth earned a BA in psychology from the College of William & Mary and is a self-educated artist. The artist has participated in exhibits at the University Museum of Contemporary Art, UMass, Amherst, MA; D’Amour Museum, Springfield, MA; Danforth Museum, Danforth, MA; New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, CT; Deerfield Academy, Deerfield, MA; and A.P.E. Gallery, Northampton, MA, among others. Stone has curated exhibits at the University Museum of Contemporary Art, UMass Amherst; A.P.E. Gallery, Northampton, MA; and the von Auersperg Gallery, Deerfield Academy, Deerfield, MA. Elizabeth Stone currently lives and works in Northampton, Massachusetts.
