Elizabeth Sheeler

Elizabeth Sheeler is a Madison, Wisconsin interdisciplinary artist who has been involved in multiple areas of creativity. Elizabeth was born and raised in Fayetteville, Arkansas where she found her passion for art. She received a Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art with a concentration in 4D at The University of Wisconsin - Madison in 2022. In 2019 Elizabeth received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art with an emphasis in Sculpture and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education with an emphasis in Printmaking. Her work explores themes of identity, control, ownership, blindness, power, equality, and empathy. She creates environments where the participant is forced to look inward examining themselves and their environment to find their own way to an intro-perspective empathy. Her newer work will have an emphasis on power dynamic, equality, and perception through senses other than sight. Elizabeth has attended several residency’s including at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Her work has been published in the Scout Guide Magazine and has been shown nationally and internationally including VAE Gallery: North Carolina, The Rome Center: Italy, The Kennedy Center: Virginia, and Arapahoe Community College: Colorado.
