BIO

Elizabeth Scott is a sculptor from the Bay Area working primarily in clay. She received her BFA in Ceramics from California State University, Long Beach and is currently completing her MFA at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. A 2024 recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, Scott creates figurative work that explores memory, intimacy, and loss through processes of fragmentation, repair, and material accumulation. Her sculptures use layered surfaces to express vulnerability, resilience, and the complexity of embodied experiences.
