Elizabeth Nelson was born in New York City, graduated from Rhode Island School of Design and received a master’s degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. When she moved to her farm in northern Vermont she became part of the working landscape for forty years starting with ten heifers and ending with three hundred cows twenty seven years later. All through this time she has always made paintings. She has shown in many venues in Vermont, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts, and is represented in galleries and permanent private and public collections in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon and California. Two residencies in Iceland and one in Vermont were important for her work. She has won two Vermont Public Art commissions for eight paintings and her work is part of the Vermont State Art Collection.
