Elizabeth Hershon Art
About Me
I am a painter and sculptor living in New York City. I am particularly inspired by mythology, history, architecture, and poetry. Often working in series and experimenting with a theme until a particular mood is created, there is frequently a very satisfying element of surprise. My work usually encompasses symbols and visual puns.
Content is one part of my sculptural and painting expression; most important, however, is the love of the materials and their conditions -- paint or clay, color, texture, form, pattern. The possibilities seem infinite, so I continue to explore.

Ceramic Figures
“I am fortunate to own many of Elizabeth's uniquely beautiful ceramic pieces. Here's a brief tour of some of her works in situ. There is my tall kitchen goddess who watches over every meal ... candlesticks that dress up our dining table ... the woman seated on a fish who sits among the leaves of our enormous monstera plants ... the graceful woman in a robe who lives in my office and is in the Zoom background when I teach. There are more to come!"
