Elizabeth Parsons is an award winning* professional designer. She has worked the last fifteen years as a
staff designer and department manager for the North American division of a pharmaceutical company.
Prior to these positions, Elizabeth worked as a graphic designer for six newspapers, designing advertising and logos.

Her current interest is collage, mixed media and altered art. Elizabeth has attended several workshops.
The first was taught by Leslie Altman where altered art technique was explored. Next came beeswax collage with Claudine Hellmuth, followed by an inspiring 3-day workshop with Jonathan Talbot where he taught his unique technique of non-liquid adhesives and collage. In August 2005, Elizabeth took a workshop given by Michelle Ward. The theme of this workshop was backgrounds for art journals. Most recently in March of 2007, was a wonderful workshop taught by Laura Breitman on fabric collage.
